6WINDGate™
EDS
The 6WINDGate EDS profile is part of 6WIND's
software suite that addresses the full spectrum of multicore design
requirements from one to any number of cores. Simplified into three
solutions covering mid to high performance applications, 6WINDGate
profiles are specifically designed to simplify software development,
minimize design time and reduce product cost. 6WINDGate is ideal
for all multicore designs, whether a migration from a single-core
product or an evolution from an existing multicore system.
The 6WINDGate EDS profile is ideal for mid-range
applications primarily based on a Fast Path architecture. The Fast
Path is implemented as a Linux kernel module between the Linux Networking
Stack and the interface drivers. So there is no need for a processor-specific
MCEE (Multi Core Executive Environment). Compared to a standard
Linux architecture, forwarding is performed at the driver level
and not in the Linux Networking Stack. Only packets that cannot
be processed by the Fast Path are forwarded to the Linux Networking
Stack (Slow Path)
The 6WINDGate EDS architecture relies on Cache
Manager and Fast Path Manager modules to transparently integrate
and synchronize Fast Path processing and Slow Path / Control Plane.
6WINDGate's XML-based Management Plane is also
included as part of the complete software solution. When using the
6WINDGate EDS profile in a multicore environment, a Linux kernel
in SMP mode with a dedicated optimized Fast Path runs on all the
cores, processing more packets simultaneously. 6WINDGate EDS delivers
the best possible performance in a pure Linux environment.
