  • Dual NetLogic XLR732 ATCA Blade for Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) & Packet Processing
  • Targeted for 3G & LTE Packet Core, Traffic Shaping & Security Applications

Targeting the needs of 3G and LTE evolved packet core (EPC) and fixed broadband networks, FlexPacket ATCA-PP50 provides network equipment providers with deep packet inspection (DPI) capabilities to support advanced content-aware routing, packet processing and security functions required by multi-service IP networks.

Click to request a PDFThe PP50 dual NetLogic XLR DPI packet processing blade is engineered to meet the application needs of next generation infrastructure including 3G SGSN/GGSN, LTE Serving and PDN gateways, femtocell gateways, Internet offloading, traffic shaping, tiered services, lawful intercept and numerous cyber security applications (e.g., IDS / IPS / DDOS).

The PP50 dual NetLogic XLR DPI packet processing blade provides superior performance via two discrete multi-core NetLogic XLR MIPS64 packet processors. Each processor provides 8 multi-threaded cores and contains a built-in security co-processor capable of handling up to 10Gbps of bulk encryption / decryption (20Gbps per blade). The PP50 dual NetLogic XLR DPI packet processing blade supports each processor with up to 8GB of memory (16GB per blade) as well as access to a TCAM and content-based processors via mezzanines. The TCAM is especially important for very high performance IPv6 routing platforms.

Photo Product ATCA PP50 RTMThe PP50 dual NetLogic XLR DPI packet processing blade interconnects the processors, I/O and backplane fabrics using a non-blocking 10GbE switch. Each NetLogic XLR732 processor is provided with two 10GbE ports to the switch providing full duplex 10GbE capabilities. External I/O is supported over a dual redundant 10GbE backplane fabric (PICMG 3.1.9) as well as through direct connection to 10GbE and 1GbE ports on the front or rear depending on a customer’s specific cabling requirements.

Coupled with Trillium protocol software and professional services, the PP50 dual NetLogic XLR DPI packet processing blade with TCAM provides the fastest path from application development to deployment revenue. From LTE Serving Gateways to Internet Traffic Offloading applications, the PP50 dual NetLogic XLR DPI packet processing blade is the blade of choice for deploying a wide range of high-performance, scalable telecom applications.
