EZchip Technologies and Dune Networks Complete Interoperability Testing of the NP-2 Network Processor and SAND Switch Fabric and Traffic Manager
Posted on: Tuesday, 18 October 2005, 09:00 CDT
EZchip Technologies (a subsidiary of LanOptics Ltd., NASDAQ:LNOP), a fabless semiconductor company providing high-speed network processors, and Dune Networks Inc., a leading provider of switching fabric and traffic management solutions, today announced they have completed testing and verified interoperability of their complementary product offering. The combined chip set provides a highly flexible and scalable solution for implementing line-cards and switch-blades, and is currently in design by several customers for deployment in carrier-class switches and routers. The joint solution will be demonstrated at the Network Systems Design Conference (NSDC) 2005, October 18-20, at Parkside Hall in San Jose, Ca.
A typical line card configuration of the joint solution consists of the NP-2 network processor and the SAND-FAP10/20V traffic manager and fabric interface device. The two devices are interconnected via an industry-standard SPI4.2 interface. Interoperability testing between the two devices included a variety of Quality of Service (QoS) scenarios with varying packet sizes at wire-speed forwarding. A detailed application and test report as well as interoperable NP-2 and SAND reference systems are available.
"NP-2's processing capabilities together with the FAP10V's traffic management capabilities, adding on to the FE200 scalable fabric, provide a leading solution, addressing Carrier's requirements in Metro, Core and Edge markets," says Michal Kahan, Dune Networks' VP of Marketing. "Mutual customers enjoy the best of breed of NP, TM and fabric technologies."
"The Dune and EZchip chip set provides customers with a future-proof solution," said Amir Eyal, EZchip's VP for Business Development. "Networking system vendors gain the processing flexibility to add new features and support evolving standards as well as scale their system designs to terabit switching capacity."
EZchip's NP-2 network processor coupled with Dune's SAND traffic manager and switch fabric provide the key components for building switch/router systems with unmatched processing flexibility and end-to-end QoS. Cost sensitive Ethernet applications can utilize a lower cost model of NP-2, the NP-2/10L, which excludes NP-2's integrated traffic manager, using instead the FAP10/20V traffic manager to provide end-to-end rate and QoS guarantees. Demanding applications can take advantage of the traffic management function integrated in both the FAP10/20V and NP-2 to provide system-wide end-to-end QoS.
