The NCP-5260 represents a new generation of hybrid system designs with Intel architecture processing on the control plane, and Packetarium™ network processing boards for the data plane.
It integrates up to two powerful, multi-core Packetarium™ network processing boards for wire speed packet processing and accomodates up to 16 x 10 GbE external interfaces.
The main carrier board provides the high-speed switched interconnects between Packetarium boards.
The Intel Xeon-based server board provides storage, system-management and remote management network connections.
Each network processing board is linked by dual or quad XAUI ports to a Broadcom 10 GbE switch on the carrier board. The 10 GbE switch provides sixteen front panel 10 GbE SFP+ ports. The carrier board incorporates a MPC8545 processor for overall switch management.A SATA controller on the server board connects to two 2.5" SATA HDD slots.The scalability of the NCP-5260 positions it ideally for OEMs designing high bandwidth systems in enterprise networking. It is particularly applicable for applications in service provider networks for enhanced security, in content-aware routing and subscriber-based services.
The initial Packetarium™ network processing boards supported by the NCP-5260 are based on the RMI XLR 732 8-core processor. Each processor supports up to 4 GB of memory on two DIMM sockets. Two PCIe x4 provide control plane connectivity with the carrier while two XAUI ports connect to the data plane. The board is designed with IPMI 2.0 H/W Management, remotely managed via a local Module Management Controller (MMC) connected to the carrier's IPMB-L (I2C) bus.
A console port and a 1000 Mbps port provide further management interface options.
Other network processing boards in the Packetarium family are compatible.
