MANSFIELD, Massachusetts,
June 17, 2019 PRNewswire/ --
Telco Systems, the leading provider of innovative SDN/NFV,
CE 2.0, MPLS and IP solutions, today announced that it has reached
an important performance milestone in the development of a full OVS
(Open vSwitch) data path hardware offload solution based on NXP®
Semiconductors technology.
This new solution utilizes the NXP Advanced I/O Processor (AIOP)
engine and is integrated on NXP Layerscape® LS2088A and LS1088A
multicore processors. The solution is a significant step forward in
removing a major performance bottlenecks and freeing valuable CPU
resources by fully offloading all host virtual switching to the
programmable hardware engine integrated on the SoC itself, while
providing seamless integration with OVS control plane, OpenStack
and the MANO layers.
Telco Systems' performance tests have demonstrated a three to
five times increase in packet throughput while lowering the latency
rate by double when compared to software-accelerated OVS-DPDK data
path with a fully deployed VNF. In addition, this solution frees
one or more CPU cores, usually fully consumed by host DPDK for use
by VNFs. This allows more VNFs to be run or even higher VNF
performance to be achieved without upgrading the
hardware.
"With our groundbreaking OVS HW offload solution, customers will
be able to achieve the performance required by large enterprises or
edge compute use cases at the cost of a small-medium uCPE,"
explained Ariel Efrati, CEO at Telco
Systems. "Significantly lowering the latency also enables our
NFVTime solution to support next-generation 5G/MEC use-cases. This
technology is strategic for the market as the requirement is driven
by leading Tier-1 customers. Telco Systems continues working
closely with NXP and its Arm-based SoCs to further optimize and
extend its hardware acceleration solution, making it available to
VNF vendors as a generic offload API."
"NXP's Layerscape multicore processors implement a balanced mix
of CPU cores, hardware acceleration and high-speed I/O to deliver
efficient networking performance for today's virtualized networking
tasks," added Tareq Bustami, Senior
Vice President and General Manager, Digital Networking at NXP
Semiconductors. "Combined with Telco System's optimized NFVTime
software platform, the solution will enable more efficient and
cost-effective customer premise networking."
These product development activities are part of the strategic
investment and multiyear joint development agreement signed between
Telco Systems and Arm last year.
