6WINDGate™
EDS
6WINDGate™ EDS offering includes:
6WINDGate™
EDS Fast Path Modules
- 6WINDGate™ EDS is based on a Fast Path architecture targeted
to mid-range applications. This Fast Path is implemented as a
Linux kernel module between the Linux Networking Stack and the
interface drivers. So, it does not require any MCEE. 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 Fast Path are forwarded to the Linux
Networking Stack (Slow Path). 6WINDGate™ EDS 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™
EDS 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.
- Include XML-based Management System (XMS) and all necessary
management tools.
6WINDGate™ EDS 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™ EDS 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…
