采用28nm FPGA的100GbE线路卡设计方案
The components of a 100-GbE line card include:
■ Optical interface—The optical interface unit can consist of multiple SFP+ or XFP modules, or it can be driven by 100G traffic via CFP or QSFP modules.
■ PHY—The PHY unit is the serializer/deserializer (SERDES) component of the line card. The PHY line rate and jitter specifications should be compliant with the optical interface.
■ MAC/PCS—The MAC/PCS unit performs the gearbox, scrambling, and encoding functions based on the protocol. In the case of 40-GbE or 100-GbE implementations, there is a multilane distribution (MLD) function as per the IEEE 802.3ba specifications. In addition, flow control as well as error handling is performed by the MAC.In some cases, the received 10G data from the MAC unit is aggregated before it is passed over to the network processing unit (NPU).
■ NPU—The key function of the NPU is to optimize the performance of packet processing in the evolving functional framework of the line card. Key functions include compression, classification/lookup, modification, and deep-packet inspection. The most common function of the NPU is to interface with a switch fabric device that performs complicated routing of the packets through the network.
■ Traffic manager—The primary function of the traffic manager is to offer a large number of high-speed queues, optimize queue depths, and use sophisticated scheduling mechanisms to meet the QoS requirements of the application. Because NPUs are not designed with QoS in mind, they require excessive processing power and software optimization before they can function as efficiently as a dedicated traffic manager.
