key benefits ? realize great efficiencies of design with a single ?platform? architecture for virtually any flavor of msp line card software upgradeable line cards can easily address evolving standards and new services ? and minimize oem and service provider risk true, fine-grained, multiservice support for high numbers of users get to market faster with streamlined development and c-programmable solutions overview one of the greatest challenges of oems building multi- service platforms (msps) is maximizing their return on investment (roi). with the massive network build-outs of the past few years and falling bandwidth prices putting pressure on margins, achieving better roi can be challenging, especially for the access and edge multi- service platform market. the market is diverse with single msps accommodating a mixture of atm, frame relay, ip, mpls, and pos, with port speeds ranging from subt1/e1 to oc-3 to full duplex oc-48c/stm-16 links. emerging applications including packetized voice (voip) and 2.5g/3g wireless backbone networks add further to the demands of scalability and adaptability. and with converging applications (data/ voice/video) come issues of quality of service (qos). design challenges a common architecture of a multiservice system today is a rack or shelf with multiple flavors of line cards with a common backplane bus and control processor card. the backplane is often atm-based. these line cards can be dedicated to a specific function such as ip, atm, or frame relay or combine functions, such as atm and frame relay on a single line card. interworking among the cards is provided by routing to other cards within the shelf across the switch fabric. typically, these solutions are not easily scalable in terms of increasing bandwidths, implementing new interfaces, or adding new services. any solution for the access and edge markets needs to offer a range of speeds and phys- ical interfaces for today's applications and an easy migration path for future applications ? including a more ip-centric network. in addition, today?s msps cannot easily adapt to new and evolving standards. the ability to upgrade software versus forklift upgrades is paramount. by implementing greater hardware integration and ?soft? implementation of functionality in an msp product design, vendors will see a significant increase in roi. for example, to be able to take a previous solution consisting of two cards and replace it by a single line card, vendors will automatically see roi gains ? and increasing port density per card creates even better financial perfor- mance. and within that one line card, vendors need to support both atm/frame relay technologies and ip/ mpls services, plus be able to upgrade functionality in software. both oems and their customers will benefit from this type of solution. motorola ? solution motorola's c-port ? network processor family enables a new approach to msp design that delivers a broad solu- tion set within a highly integrated hardware and soft- ware platform providing flexibility and adaptability. with c-port family network processors, traffic management coprocessors, and channel adapters, vendors can create a hybrid line card capable of incorporating multiprotocol capabilities and standards on a cost-efficient platform, which can be easily integrated into existing and new multiservice switches. the c-5e ? network processor (np) consists of sixteen programmable, full duplex cps (channel processors). each cp can be programmed for a particular service/ application (atm, frame relay, ethernet, sonet, and so on), and cps can be aggregated for a wide spectrum of data streams such as fast ethernet to oc-12c to oc-48c on a single c-5e np. to increase your bandwidth and application fact sheet access/edge multiservice platform atm/ip/fr line card f r e e s c a l e s e m i c o n d u c t o r , i freescale semiconductor, inc. f o r m o r e i n f o r m a t i o n o n t h i s p r o d u c t , g o t o : w w w . f r e e s c a l e . c o m n c . . .
computing power, two c-5e nps can used to scale your system up to 10gbps aggregate bandwidth. multiple c-5e nps, used with a switch fabric, can achieve terabits per second bandwidth. a single c-5e np-based interface card design can be built with a variety of different phy interface types. for example, the c-5e np architecture can support up to: 16 10/100 ethernet interfaces 4 gigabit ethernet interfaces 16 oc-3c/stm-1 interfaces 4 oc-12c/stm-4 interfaces 1 oc-48c/stm-16 interface (with assistance of the m-5 channel adapter) 1 oc-48 interface connecting up to 48 logical inter- faces cost efficiencies can be realized through integrated func- tions on the c-5e np, including ethernet macs and sonet framers, which speed system development, sim- plify device design, and lower total system costs. with motorola ? s smart networks alliance program, industry- standard interfaces enable system designers to glue- lessly integrate additional hardware. for example, the c-5e np has a glueless interface to the ibm ? packet routing switch fabric, in addition to conforming to stan- dard csix-l1, utopia 2, and utopia 3 interfaces. with the addition of motorola ? s tightly integrated traffic management coprocessors (tmcs), advanced qos configurations can be implemented such as active queue management, policing and shaping, and scheduling of flows ? all programmed using the c-port family qos apis. software for atm, frame relay, mpls, saring and sonet can be implemented in the c-5e np, which han- dles all the forwarding plane software. through a tight coupling to a host processor, such as motorola ? s mpc750, which runs control/management plane soft- ware, even more advanced services can be achieved. further adaptability via a stable, standard api ensures that system design investments can be carried forward. thus, one basic hardware design, matched with many different phy interfaces, combined with applications that are fully software programmable yields a vast range of different solutions leveraging a common platform. by using the c-port family in an msp line card design, a multi-year phased product delivery can be radically con- densed, offering a massive time-to-market competitive advantage. msp line card solution providing interworking of atm, ip, and frame relay and supporting a diversity of interfaces and channelization ? same software base can be used with multiple line cards f r e e s c a l e s e m i c o n d u c t o r , i freescale semiconductor, inc. f o r m o r e i n f o r m a t i o n o n t h i s p r o d u c t , g o t o : w w w . f r e e s c a l e . c o m n c . . .
