I would guess (and its just a guess) that is a reference design switch based on a Broadcom or Marvell chip that Accton is taking to market to bleed off excess capacity and make a buck or two. ODM's usually do some the component integration work, if not all. Usually, but not always, leaving the software pieces to their customer.
