    This is moat likely a core/main/back bone switch that feeds many smaller switches. Its not outside the norm, we’re seeing 400gb and 800gb switches that are easily able to push that much bandwidth out a single port. 1.2tb or 1.6tb switches are the next logical step. You’ll only find these switches in massive datacenters or for server clusters like for AI or high performance computing
