Overview

Aliathon’s Packet Classification core is targeted at replacing expensive & power hungry Network Processors (NPUs) and Content Addressable Memory (CAM) for high speed, exact match look-up in the optical network packet domain.

The solution is highly scalable to fit applications from 155M - 100G and resides in a single FPGA.

Key features

  • 200MHz+ push button core performance.
  • Designed from the ground up to allow future protocol and channel/key scaling.
  • Fully compliant with Aliathon’s existing solutions;
    • 155M, 622M, 2.5G and 10G SONET/SDH (inc. PDH) solutions.
    • 2.5G, 10G, 100G OTN solutions.
  • Input key support from 256K to 1M.
  • Fully deterministic lookup table performance up to 80Gbps.
  • Fast in-band system update for dynamic rule-set support.
  • Complete multi-protocol packet classification and stream ID assignment based on configurable input keys including;
    • IPv4/IPv6 addresses.
    • MAC addresses.
    • PBB-TE/PBT/PBB tags.
    • (T)MPLS labels.
    • Any combination of L2/3/4 headers.
    • VC/VP identifiers.
  • Highly optimized memory interfaces to low cost commodity SRAM/SDRAM.
  • No Content Addressable Memory (CAM )required.
