Abstract: The ASN GW Fast Path solution was a performance oriented architecture in a multi-card configuration hosting an AMCC network processor. The salient implementation aspects include initialization of 24 tasks as active and background tasks, usage of AMCC instruction set is used to program the multi-threaded NP core, i/f with multiple co-processors present in NP , microcode interfaces with on-chip TCAM and NSC over LA-1 interface for deep packet inspection, microcode interfaces for Linux based Host (Control plane).
Customer Benefits:
- The solution has differentiating features as compared to other commercially available features. This include Line Rate packet processing supporting multi-gigabit data path, deep packet inspection, QoS on packet/byte level and asymmetric packet processing for R3 and R6 interfaces
- An in-house prototype available which is extensible and customizable to customer need and hence reduced development time for the customers interested in this solution
- Low Deployment Cost linux based solution
