Application Note: Breaking the Multi-Gbps
Performance Wall Without Any Impact on Your Applications
This Application
Note explains how 6WINDGate™ embedded networking
software for multicore processors solves major technical
and economical challenges for the IT industry:
| How to manage,
at an affordable cost, increasing networking bandwidth
while limiting the impact on applications and preserving
huge investments spent to develop these applications? |
Telecoms / IT have convergent
networking requirements:
- There is strong growing demand for advanced telecommunications
services for wired and wireless Next Generation Networks
(NGN) infrastructures. Within a few years, billions
of fixed and mobile devices will be connected via the
Internet. New innovative Internet services based mainly
on images and video will be launched, and intelligence
in the network will be required to differentiate service
offerings. All these services are going to be deployed
over full IP-based architectures.
- IP is now the de facto standard for enterprise information
systems. All equipment including security gateways,
VoIP and ToIP systems, Web 2.0 applications, storage
systems, etc. rely on a sophisticated IP communications
layer.
This Telecoms / IT convergence is going
to tear down barriers between both worlds and significantly
simplify and accelerate the development of converged services
at a lower cost.
Multicore (MC) technology is providing a
hardware solution to meet the requirements for high performance
packet processing either for telecoms and IT with two
main flavors of products that can be combined:
- Highly integrated MC processors (CPU, network interface
and built-in accelerators) provide a complete networking
solution for packet processing
- Generic MC processors provide a less integrated networking
solution but more processing capabilities for applications
Multicore packet processing software has
to address two main challenges: How to break the multi-Gbps
performance wall while limiting impact on the applications?
This Application Note explains how 6WINDGate:
- Breaks the Multi-Gbps performance limit
- Provides a large set of integrated networking features
specifically designed for multicore
- Limits the impact of migrating applications towards
multicore architectures thanks to its architecture that
hides the complexity of multicore
6WIND's support teams have the expertise
to help you implement the most effective and progressive
transition scenario fulfilling your specific requirements.
