FAP21V Datasheet | DUNE

Overview Dune Networks SAND™ (Scalable Architecture for Networking Devices) chipset provides a plete solution for switching fabric and ingress/egress traffic management. The SAND™ chipset includes a Fabric Element device (FE200) and a family of Fabric Access Processor (FAP) devices. The FE200 enables switched-based systems across all types of FAP devices. The FAP devices differ from each other by the aggregate rate they provide to the user, their traffic-management capabilities, and the interface towards the NP or MAC/framer. The SAND chipset enables, for the first time, Internet and storage-platform vendors to build a full product line, using the same chipset guaranteeing a life cycle of 7+ years. In order to provide this extensive life cycle, the SAND chipset provides three scaling dimensions: port bandwidth, port count, and port service scheme. A system built using the SAND chipset is capable of providing total user bandwidth starting from 10Gbps and extending up to 80Tbps. The system allows the user to connect mixed rate line cards (10Gbps to 100Gbps) and line cards with various traffic management capabilities. The FAP21V device provides 20Gbps ingress/egress prehensive traffic-management functionality via SPI4.2 interfaces while incorporating a switch fabric interface. The embedded switch fabric interface allows the FAP21V device to interconnect and FAP21V as Egress TM Line Card-1 MAC Framer (Egress) SPI 4.2 municate via its fabric interface, allowing any system of any size to provide end-to-end rate and weight guarantees for packet flows. System Configurations and Applications The FAP21V can be used: - As a stand-alone traffic manager in a system based on a bined-Input-Output-Queuing (CIOQ) architecture, which uses a third party fabric. In such a configuration the FAP device is used as ingress and/or as egress TM - In...
