TPX3000 Carrier Packet Engine
The TPX3000 Carrier Packet Engine is a combined Carrier Ethernet Switch and Traffic Manager.
The key features are:
- 20 / 40 Gbps full duplex, non-blocking switch capacity
- 10 GE port and 10 FE/GE ports per device
- SPI-4.2 interface
- Multiprotocol support for Carrier Ethernet, IP/MPLS, VPLS/PWE3
- Hardware-based OAM support (i.e. no hand-off to CPU)
- Low cost RAM technology (no TCAM's)
- Advanced QoS features for Flow identification, policing and scheduling
- Optional support for both PBB-TE / PBT and T-MPLS
The TPX3000 is designed for MSPP applications providing layer 2 switching and traffic management functionality in collaboration with a 10 Gbps NG-SONET/SDH packet mapper (e.g. TPW192-S). This allows advanced MEF defined Carrier Ethernet Services to be offered including E-Tree and E-LAN, as well as E-Line.
The TPX3000 is delivered as a complete binary image for direct download in Altera Stratix II FPGA and includes a high-level driver software with an API for easy integration with your application software.
As the SMARTPACK products are based on re-programmable FPGA technology TPACK can optionally modify our standard product to meet your specific needs for additional features.
