Next Generation Intelligent IO Packet processor AMC module

Based on OCTEON II MIPS64 CN6335 multicore processor from Cavium Networks

Platform design considerations for the Kontron AMC module AM4211 include using it as an eNodeB and LTE network element component or, in combination with full-scale ATCA® blades, as a co-processor Network Interface Card (NIC).
The module can be scaled across both MicroTCA™ (Picostation, Microstation to Macrostation) and 14-slot AdvancedTCA® platforms. The new features of the new CN6335 processor on the Kontron AM4211 support 1x 10GbE to the front and software configurable interfaces to the Fabric with either 2x PCIe x4 or SRIO which expands its application usage when configuring systems in combination with standards based third-party Digital Signal Processing (DSP) AMCs. The CN6335 processor also ensures the Kontron AM4211 delivers the best performance per watt compared to other multicore processors.
Telecom equipment manufacturer (TEMs) will enjoy an undisputable advantage with its unmatched deterministic, low latency 3rd generation DPI performance capabilities with unlimited rules and a rich feature-set on a single chip that includes integrated security for a broad range of applications at the Core, Edge and Access network elements.
This next generation packet processor module delivers seamless, compatible evolution and can meet numerous market requirements when designing high performance 4G network elements, including – increased data plane performance with twice the performance per watt over existing alternatives; high density computing (9 GHz) within a stringent thermal budget (< 40W on 12VDC) making it an ideal candidate for an AMC system component. It is interoperable with third party AMCs based on DSP and FPGA.
With direct connectivity to FPGA/DSP AMCs in a MicroTCA™ platform, it is a complete solution for MAC processing and L3-L7 processing on single chip, achieving a high throughput of up to 15M packets per second (pps).
