NETWORK PRODUCT BRIEF

† NP-5™ Network Processor

240Gbps NPU for Carrier Ethernet Applications HIGHLIGHTS Mellanox’s NP-5 is a highly-flexible network processor with integrated traffic management, targeting Carrier Ethernet and Routers (CESR) and other Carrier Ethernet platforms –– 240Gbps wire-speed network processor aimed that require high performance, flexible and fine-grained traffic management. at Carrier Ethernet applications

TARGET APPLICATIONS –– Integrated 240Gbps traffic management NP-5’s flexibility and integration allows system vendors to deliver cost effective solutions that providing granular bandwidth control can easily adapt to changing market requirements. –– Up to 480Gbps peak processing data path and Typical applications include: Stand-alone pizza box solutions: CoS classification • Line cards in modular chassis: • Ethernet Aggregation Nodes –– Suited for line card, services card and pizza box • Edge and Core Routers • Server Load Balancing Switches applications • Transport Switches • Multi-10Gbps Firewalls & VPN –– On-chip control CPU for host CPU offload • Data Center Switches • Intrusion Detection Appliances • 3G/4G Wireless Infrastructure Equipment • Network Monitoring and Analysis Services –– for minimizing line card and system power dissipation

SOFTWARE TOOLS –– Operations, Administration and Management Mellanox supplies a comprehensive set of tools to facilitate system design for NP-5 (OAM) processing offload based products. The toolset manages the data plane and allows designers to edit, build and –– Synchronous Ethernet and IEEE1588v2 offload debug applications for the Mellanox’s network processors with a unified GUI. for Circuit Emulation Services Designers can quickly develop and test the microcode using cycle-accurate simulation and debugging tools including breakpoints, single-step program execution and access to internal –– IP reassembly for advanced packet processing resources. offload APPLICATIONS LIBRARY –– Integrated serial interfaces with support for 64x1GE, 48x10GE, 12x40GE and 4x100GE Mellanox offers a library featuring production code and tested reference code to help its customers simplify their development efforts and expedite the time-to-market of their system –– Utilizing DDR3 DRAM memory chips for products. The library includes: minimizing power and cost
