The O.N.E. Advantage


6WINDGate™ SDS

6WINDGate™ SDS offering includes:

6WINDGate™ Fast Path Modules

  • Fast Path Modules are developed outside Linux environment to optimise high demanding processing. With such modules, performance fully benefit from the Multi-Core Network Processor processing capabilities. However, to develop complete equipment, Fast Path Modules have to be integrated with Linux stack and Control Plane modules that manage complex signalling protocols such as ARP, routing (OSPF, BGP, etc.) or IPsec key exchange protocols.

6WINDGate™ SDS Optimised Linux Stack

  • Implements all the kernel modules of 6WINDGate™ solution including IPv4/IPv6 stack, IPsec, QoS management, multicast forwarding, filtering, VLAN, L2 tunnelling.
  • Runs either on a single processor or multi-core architectures thanks to its SMP capabilities.
  • 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 Cache Manager and Fast Path Manager modules to smoothly integrate 6WINDGate™ Fast Path Modules without modifying Control Plane protocols.
  • 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 and Mobility.
  • Include XML-based Management System (XMS) and all necessary management tools.

6WINDGate™ SDS is fully modular as 6WINDGate™ Fast Path, Optimised 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, Raza Microelectronics XLR) 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), Intel, Lanner, GE Fanuc, Interphase, Kontron, Motorola, Portwell, RMI (evaluation boards).
