6WINDGate™
SDS
6WINDGate™ SDS offering includes:
6WINDGate™
Fast Path Modules
- 6WINDGate™ SDS is based on a Fast Path architecture targeted
to high performance applications. This Fast Path is identical
to 6WINDGate™ EDS Fast Path but is implemented as a module
running in the MCEE outside Linux environment. Forwarding is performed
at Fast Path level for optimal performance. Only packets that
cannot be processed by Fast Path are forwarded to the Linux Networking
Stack (Slow Path). Similarly to 6WINDGate™ EDS, 6WINDGate™
SDS architecture relies on Cache Manager and Fast Path Manager
modules to integrate and synchronise Fast Path processing and
Slow Path / Control Plane in a transparent manner. 6WINDGate™
SDS architecture is perfectly well suited to MC processors. Fast
Path Modules are running on a certain number of dedicated cores
in order to process many packets simultaneously with guaranteed
performances. The Linux Networking Stack (Slow path) and Control
Plane Modules are running on the rest of cores (possibly in SMP
mode if more than one core is dedicated to Linux environment).
6WINDGate™
SDS Networking Linux Stack
- Implements all the kernel modules of 6WINDGate™ solution
including IPv4/IPv6 stack, IPsec, QoS management, multicast forwarding,
filtering, VLAN, L2 tunnelling.
- Runs on multi-core architectures thanks to its SMP capabilities.
6WINDGate™ Linux Stack has been optimized by minimizing locks
between cores.
- Implements OCF (OpenBSD Cryptographic Framework) asynchronous
implementation to support the Hifn 7955/7956 PCI-X cards, or interface
built-in crypto-processors optimizing IPsec performance.
- Implements Virtual Networking Block (VNB) framework to easily
integrate drivers and Layer 2 protocols.
- Includes some value-added enhancements such as Virtual Routing
and Ancillary Data management.
- Includes Cache Manager and Fast Path Manager modules to smoothly
integrate 6WINDGate™ Fast Path Modules without modifying
Control Plane protocols.
- Includes extensions to interface Fast Path implementation (FPVI
& FPS).
- Includes XML-based Management System (XMS) foundation and all
necessary management tools.
6WINDGate™
Control Plane Modules
- Implement all the user land modules of 6WINDGate™ solution
including following protocol families: unicast and multicast IPv4/IPv6
routing, security protocols (IKE, 802.1x), connectivity protocols,
IPv4 to IPv6 transition protocols ad hoc routing and Mobility.
6WINDGate™ SDS is fully modular as 6WINDGate™
Fast Path, Networking Linux stack and Control Plane Modules can
be offered separately or as a whole. 6WINDGate™ Control Plane
modules can be proposed as a whole or per family.
6WINDGate™ SDS runs on Multi Core
CPUs including MIPS32, MIPS64 (e.g. Cavium Networks OCTEON, RMI
XLR) Freescale and Intel Multi-Core as well as on a large number
of Linux distributions. It has also been pre-integrated to successfully
run on a number of related hardware reference designs and COTS platforms
from the following manufacturers: Advantech, CCPU, Cavium Networks
(evaluation boards), Emerson, Intel, Interphase, Lanner, GE Fanuc,
Interphase, Kontron, Portwell, RMI (evaluation boards), WNE Web….
