Portfolio and Enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet in Optical Routers and Multi-Service Switches Applied Micro Circuits Corp.

Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :AMCC), the leader in high-bandwidth silicon connectivity for the world's intelligent optical networks, today announced the availability of Khatanga (S19205), the industry's first universal 10 Gigabit per Second (Gbps) solution bringing simultaneous 10 Gigabit Ethernet and OC-192c Packet Over SONET A metropolitan area network (MAN) or wide area network (WAN) transport technology that carries IP packets directly over SONET transmission without any data link facility such as ATM in between. (PoS) capability to Optical Switches and Routers. Developed by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. 802.3ae Task Force, 10 Gigabit Ethernet is emerging as a key technology in Metropolitan networks and, for the first time, allows native Ethernet traffic to be transported over both Local Area Networks (LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. ) and Wide Area Networks (WAN). Building upon AMCC's field-proven 10Gbps technology, the Khatanga is a true single-chip 10 Gigabit Ethernet WAN or LAN PHY solution that integrates a 10Gbps Media Access Control (MAC) block, a Physical Coding Sub-layer (PCS (1) (Personal Communications Services) Refers to wireless services that emerged after the U.S. government auctioned commercial licenses in 1994 and 1995. This radio spectrum in the 1. ) and a WAN Interface Sub-layer (WIS). Alternatively, Khatanga can operate as an OC-192c framer, capable of mapping either IP packets or 10 Gigabit Ethernet payloads over SONET/SDH. In this mode, a second fully featured SONET/SDH line interface is available for network protection purposes that can be connected either to a second OC-192 optical module or to a remote Khatanga device (See figure 1). Aimed at providing end-to-end line card solutions for 10Gbps systems, AMCC designed the Khatanga to interface seamlessly with transmitter and receiver devices such as the recently announced S3097 and S3098 chipset (See figure 2). This guaranteed interoperability considerably de-risks the design of high-speed systems and allows significant time-to-market improvement. "Khatanga is our second generation 10Gbps framer and is both cost and power optimized for single 10Gbps optical line cards in switches and routers. It goes beyond support for OC-192c PoS and native 10 Gigabit Ethernet by enabling applications, such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet over SONET/SDH, and provides system level features such as a protection port for SONET/SDH applications," said Stephane Bellosguardo, product marketing manager at AMCC. "This is the level of flexibility and feature optimization that our customers require for their optical networking equipment." "Khatanga complements AMCC's widely adopted Ganges chip to provide the most extensive set of configurations for 10Gbps optical line cards. This device supports OC-192 and quad OC-48 concatenated or channelized Refers to an architecture that transmits data in channels. It often refers to the 64 Kbps channels in T1 lines, which were originally developed to handle digitized voice streams (TDM). See TDM. interfaces with up to sixteen STS-12c channels capable of processing ATM, PoS or 10 Gigabit Ethernet traffic. Both devices are pin-to-pin compatible for maximum hardware reuse," said Amit Banerjee, director of marketing, digital products at AMCC. "There is no equivalent portfolio in the industry." Khatanga enables the implementation of line cards that can operate in 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN (10GBASE-R) or WAN (10GBASE-W) PHY modes as well as in OC-192c PoS mode (See figure 1). It provides a 64-bit Optical Internetworking Forum The Optical Internetworking Forum (OIF) was organized to facilitate and accelerate the development of next-generation optical internetworking products. The OIF produces Electrical, Tunable Laser, Very Short Reach Hardware Interfaces. (OIF OIF Operation Iraqi Freedom OIF Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (French: International Organization of Francophonie) OIF Office for Intellectual Freedom (American Library Association) ) compliant System Packet Interface Level 4 Phase 1 (SPI-4 Phase 1) system interface operating at up to 200MHz to transfer IP packets or Ethernet frames to and from the system bus. Two internal data paths are available to support either PoS or 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. When operating in the latter mode, a MAC performs full-duplex Ethernet framing while the PCS implements 64b/66b data encoding/decoding, as well as Link Signaling functions. The WIS logic performs SONET-like framing in WAN mode but can be by-passed if LAN mode operation is desired. The Khatanga's line interface is compliant with the OIF SFI-4 (SerDes to Framer Interface Level 4) standard in OC-192c PoS mode and with the IEEE 802.3ae XSBI XSBI 10 Gigabit Sixteen-Bit Interface (IEEE 802.3) XSBI Ten Gbps Sixteen Bit Interface (10 Gigabit Sixteen Bit Interface) standard for 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN and WAN PHY modes.
