Broadcom Announces Jericho2 Production Silicon Availability and Expanded SoC Series for Cloud and Service Provider Networks
27 Février 2019 - 8:00AM
Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) today announced that it is shipping the
production silicon revision of its flagship StrataDNX™ Jericho2
programmable switch-router system-on-a-chip (SoC) in high volume to
customers. Broadcom also announced the expansion of the Jericho2
Series to include the 5 Tbps Jericho2c, the 2.4Tbps Qumran2c and
the 800Gbps Qumran2a devices, delivering the industry’s only
comprehensive merchant silicon portfolio of carrier-grade routing
chipsets and enabling production network deployments in 2019.
At 10 Tbps, the Jericho2 flagship device is the highest
performance and most integrated merchant router silicon in the
world today. In concert with Broadcom’s production-released
Tomahawk® 3 12.8Tbps switch providing the highest performance
leaf-spine fabric interconnect for data center compute and storage,
Jericho2 is enabling the service- and scale-intensive layers of
cloud networks – including core switches, buffered spines and
super-spines, border routers, regional gateways and backbones,
content delivery networks (CDNs) and data center interconnect (DCI)
– to migrate to high-density and long-reach 100/200/400GE based
entirely on 50G PAM-4 serial interfaces. In doing so, customers
deploying Jericho2 have the ability to dramatically transform the
economics, feature integration and innovation velocity of the most
expensive, demanding and rigid portions of their global network
footprint.
“The Jericho2 family of products is pacing the deployment of
next-generation carrier grade routers across a wide range of
network use cases,” said Ram Velaga, Senior Vice President and
General Manager, Switch Products Division at Broadcom. “It is an
important milestone for us to be shipping Jericho2 in ramping
volume to leading carriers, OEMs, ODMs and software partners, and
together we are delivering the industry’s best-in-class solution
for the next wave of cloud router and service provider
infrastructure.”
The expanded Jericho2 Series – including the new Jericho2c,
Qumran2c and Qumran2a products – delivers a complete, end-to-end
router-class solution for fixed and mobile service provider network
infrastructure, including core, edge, access, transport, backhaul
and midhaul. All the devices leverage a unified, fully scalable and
software-programmable packet processing feature set based on the
breakthrough Elastic Pipe™ architecture, enabling fast in-field
upgrades of switch/router data plane functionality. Furthermore,
the Jericho2 Series is the only high-performance merchant silicon
family in the industry capable of concurrent multi-million,
multiprotocol forwarding databases and extensible deep buffering
with carrier-grade traffic management and subscriber-level virtual
output queueing (VoQ). Buffering options range from all-on-die
integrated VoQ buffer, to single-HBM deep buffer, to dual-HBM deep
buffer – with up to 8 Gigabytes of packet storage integrated on the
same silicon chip substrate.
The new Jericho2c, Qumran2c and Qumran2a products add 5G network
slicing support, high speed channelized interfaces up to 400GE,
direct OTN framer support and Flexible Ethernet (FlexE) ports. With
its comprehensive breadth of capabilities and performance scaling
from 320 Gbps up to 10Tbps in a single device, the expanded
Jericho2 Series addresses the full breadth of access, edge and core
network use cases in next-generation carrier networks. Moreover,
Broadcom’s unified Software Development Kit (SDK) provides
consistent APIs and resource management across the entire Series,
significantly reducing customers’ R&D investment and
time-to-market.
“As part of AT&T’s network evolution, we’re replacing
closed, vertically-integrated routers and switches with open,
disaggregated white box hardware based on merchant silicon and open
source Network Operating System software. Our white box cell site
router deployment and DANOS projects are examples of
AT&T’s commitment to that objective,” said Mike Satterlee, Vice
President of Engineering at AT&T Labs. “The Broadcom DNX
family of chips addresses service provider needs related to
density, route scale and deep buffering for merchant silicon. We’re
excited to see this technology has matured and is now
production-ready.”
