NPS-400 EZchip selected for ZTE carrier routers
The ZTE routers that will utilize the NPS-400 will benefit from its high throughput, advanced functions and greater flexibility. The NPS-400 will allow ZTE to offer customers higher port densities at lower power, as well as the ability to deliver new high-value services and features, with time to market advantages.
The NPS is architected to address the next generation of smart high-performance carrier and data-center networks. It provides packet processing simplicity and flexibility through C-based programming, a standard toolset, support of the Linux® operating system, large code space, and a run-to-completion or pipeline programming style. A comprehensive library provides source code for a variety of applications to speed customer’s design cycle.
The NPS features programmable CPU cores that are highly optimized for packet processing and leverage a market-proven traffic manager, hardware accelerators for security and DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) tailored for efficiency and performance, on-chip search engines including TCAM with scaling through algorithmic extension to external low-cost low-power DRAM memory and a multitude of network interfaces providing an aggregated bandwidth of 800-Gigabits per second including 10-, 40- and 100-Gigabit Ethernet, Interlaken and PCI Express interfaces.
"ZTE has delivered customers up-to-date 400G/card and up to 72 100GE/chassis in its 15K routing platform. This platform was designed to be able to fluently evolve to 4T/card. With this platform, ZTE has helped partners start a new era of 100GE based network. NPS-400 is now selected to support 1T/card and abundant flexible services, which will double the performance of 15K platform and meet future larger broadband requirements," said Mr. Xu Ming, VP of ZTE.
Rob O’Hara, EZchip’s Vice President of Sales added, "The continued cooperation with ZTE that started with our NP-1 network processor and has expanded to the NP-2, NP-3, NP-4 and NP-5."
