RPE-120 PCI Express Netlogic XLP 8xx Packet Processor Card

The JumpGen Systems RPE-110 PCIe Netlogic XLP 8xx Packet Processor Card is a high-performance network processor PCI Express card designed for use in PCI Express compliant systems. It features the latest NetLogic XLP8xx series processors with up to 1.2GHz core frequency. The RPE-120 can be delivered with up to 16GB of quad-channel 72-bit wide DDR3 ECC memory running at 1600MT/s.

Four SFP/SFP+ interfaces, each individually configurable for 1GigE SFP or 10GigE SFP+, are provided on the front panel. In addition, an expansion mezzanine with high-speed Inter-Chip Interconnect (ICI) and PCI Express Gen2 (or Interlaken-LA) connections to the XLP8xx processor allows for additional on-board processing. Refer to the block diagram for details.
