RPA-200 ATCA Dual Netlogic XLP Packet Processor 40G Hub or Full Mesh Node Blade

JumpGen Systems' RPA-200 ATCA Dual Netlogic XLP Packet Processor 40G Hub or Full Mesh Node Blade is a high-performance network processor AdvancedTCA™ blade designed for use in ATCA systems and compliant with PICMG 3.0 Revision 3.0 single slot form factor standards. Featuring Fulcrum low latency switches and two NetLogic XLP8xx or XLP8xx processors with up to eight-cores (each up to 1.6GHz clock rate), the RPA-200 can carry up to 16GB of dual-channel 72-bit wide DDR3 ECC memory running at 1600Mbps per XLP processor (for a total of 32GB per board).

Two XLP8xx processors can be operated as a single large CPU by virtue of Interchip Coherency Interface (ICI) seamless connections, ensuring chip-to-chip coherency, and global shared memory and I/O resources. This feature is unavailable with XLP4xx processors.

The NetLogic XLP4xx and XLP8xx processors are multi-core, multi-threaded MIPS64® processors with up to 40Gbps bulk encryption (DES / 3DES, AES 128/192/256, ARC4 and others) via 10 high-speed crypto cores and integrated security acceleration (RSA / DH Exponentiation for SSL / IPSec). The RPA-200 is ideal for security applications in wireless and wireline access points, switches, routers, radio network controllers, media gateways and video processing.

The R7A-200 will support the following configuration build options

  1. The RPA-200 supports the following I/O Options
    1. Node Board – full mesh supporting 14 40GigE fabric slots (also useable as a dual-star node board), 2 base ports, optional RTM with 10x 1GigE SFP bays.
    2. Hub Board – supporting 13 40GigE fabric slots, 13 1GigE base slots, 1 GigE to Shelf Manager, and RTM featuring 2 x 1GigE, 4 x 40GigE (or 4 x 10GigE) and x8 Interlaken-LA interfaces.
