The WANic™ 56511 is an intelligent, high performance Packet Processor based on the OCTEON™ Plus multi-core processor. Ideal for IP communications networks, the WANic packet processor can be configured to enable a wide variety of applications such as demanding wire-speed communications for secure IP access.

The WANic 56511 provides a 12-core Cavium OCTEON^TM Plus CN5650 processor at up to 750MHz with 2 Mbytes (MB) of shared L2 cache memory, delivering up to 10 Gb/s line-speed packet processing for Layers 2-7. Up to 4GBytes (GB) of high-speed DDR2 Packet Memory is implemented using VLP Mini-RDIMM modules. Thirty-two megabytes of DDR SDRAM persistent memory for storing state information is included. Up to 4 GB of Flash Disk is available for bulk memory storage.

To optimize application performance, the CN5650 processor supports a dual-issue, five-stage pipeline and optimized latencies as well as auto instruction pre-fetching and advanced data prefetching features to minimize memory delays.

WANic 56511 supports high-speed communications to the host via an eight lane PCI-Express bus interface. For application flexibility, the WANic 56511 supports one 10Gb Ethernet SFP+ transceiver via the front panel, with options for SR/LR fiber or Direct Attach copper interfaces for the line connection.

Software

The WANic 56511 software implementation is a comprehensive development package designed to improve time-to-revenue. It is optimized to simplify application integration for multi-core processor development environments.

At its lowest level, the software includes a Universal Boot (U-Boot) loader and comprehensive Power On Self Test (POST) firmware embedded in the product. This boot package is loaded from Flash memory or via the host PCI-Express Bus.

A Linux Support Package (LSP) and sample application code, designed to exercise the packet processor, is provided to aid in application development. This LSP includes a Linux Operating System and user application diagnostics. It loads user application code from a TFTP server, Flash memory or via the host PCI-Express bus, and includes a well-defined Application Program Interface (API) to ease application development. Support for other operating systems is available upon request.

To further improve customer time-to-market, optional software modules such as an IPv4/IPv6 stack, IPSec, QoS management, multicast forwarding, IP filtering, VLAN, L2 tunneling and application programming frameworks are available from GE Fanuc and/or its partners.
