Parts/Interconnect/IBM SP Switch
Why this part
The switch generation IBM shipped before SP Switch2, the fabric ASCI White used two years later; the two are easy to conflate since IBM kept the SP Switch name for both. Blue-Pacific marks one of the last big deployments of this first-generation fabric before IBM roughly doubled its bandwidth for the Power3 generation.
