Dual Broadcom XLR732 Packet Processing
Targeting the needs of 3G and LTE evolved packet core (EPC) and fixed broadband networks, ATCA-PP50 provides network equipment providers with 10G deep packet inspection (DPI) capabilities to support advanced content-aware routing, packet processing and security functions required by multi-service IP networks.
The ATCA-PP50 is engineered to meet the application needs of next generation infrastructure including 3G SGSN/GGSN, LTE Serving and PDN gateways, femtocell gateways, Internet offloading, traffic shaping, tiered services, lawful intercept and numerous cyber security applications (e.g., IDS / IPS / DDOS).
The ATCA-PP50 provides superior performance via two discrete multi-core Broadcom XLR MIPS64 packet processors. Each processor provides 8 multi-threaded cores and contains a built-in security co-processor capable of handling up to 10Gbps of bulk encryption / decryption (20Gbps per blade).
The ATCA-PP50 supports each processor with up to 8GB of memory (16GB per blade) as well as access to a TCAM and content-based processors via mezzanines. The TCAM is especially important for very high performance IPv6 routing platforms.
The ATCA-PP50 interconnects the processors, I/O and backplane fabrics using a non-blocking 10GbE switch. Each Broadcom XLR732 processor is provided with two 10GbE ports to the switch providing full duplex 10GbE capabilities. External I/O is supported over a dual redundant 10GbE backplane fabric (PICMG 3.1.9) as well as through direct connection to 10GbE and 1GbE ports on the front or rear depending on a customer’s specific cabling requirements.
