IP Packet ProcessorsAbout the GE Intelligent Platforms IP Packet ProcessorsAll of our highly versatile intelligent high-performance Gigabit Ethernet IP Packet Processors offer powerful, flexible solutions for secure IP communications and multi-gigabit packet processing. Packet processors play an important role in Next Generation Network applications which are highly interactive and complex (voice, video, data) and yet must operate at multi-gigabit speeds. If you’re designing for these applications, check out our web site. We probably have exactly the packet processor solutions you’re looking for. Our WANic 56512 packet processor, for example, integrates 10Gb Ethernet interfaces routed to front I/O and a PCI Express host interface to maximizes performance while minimizing cost. It features the OCTEON™ Plus CN5600 12-core, 750MHz processor from Cavium Networks, and 10Gb Ethernet interfaces. Then there’s the just-announced WANic 6354, the first OCTEON II-based product in our Packet Processor family. Based on the latest 6-core 1.1GHz Cavium OCTEON II CN6335-AAP application accelerator processor, its combination of advanced technologies allows for higher speed networks and for the inclusion of advanced security functionality in those networks. The new OCTEON II processor is designed to offer more functionality, faster speeds and handle higher traffic flows using the same or less power than its predecessors, enabling the WANic 6354 to give system designers greater performance per watt and greater performance per dollar. Support for IEEE 1588 and hardware timestamping are provided for Ethernet synchronization and packet ordering.

New White Paper: ATCA Blades, 6WINDGate Software Pair to Optimize Data Rate ThroughputsAs bandwidth needs increase throughout the telecommunications arena, the industry is being forced to look beyond 10Gbit/s data rates to 40 and even 100 Gigabit throughputs. Such high performance forces the use of acceleration features on the hardware as well as the use of bare metal operating systems to best-utilize all available processor cores. This white paper looks at the risks involved in the development of such systems, as well as how the use of GE ATCA blades and 6WINDGate software can mitigate those risks. Product Spotlight
