RPA-100 XLP432 Packet Processor aTCA Node BladeD

JumpGen Systems’ RPA-100 XLP432 Packet Processor aTCA Node Blade is a high-performance network processing blade designed for use in an aTCA system. Featuring Broadcom XLP432 and Fulcrum FM2224, the RPA-100 combines the advanced multi-core packet processing and multi-gigabit switching into a single slot PICMG 3.1 node platform.

The RPA-100 provides multiple 10GigE interfaces on the front panel and the aTCA backplane. Further I/O expansion can be achieved using the Rear Transition Module. In addition to XLP432 network processor, the data plane also includes NetLogic NL11K Knowledge-based Processors for high speed content lookup and classification.
