Description
The Aurora 810 has a 12.8T Intel Tofino 2 Intelligent Fabric Processor at its heart. It’s a programmable switch with 32 x 400GbE QSFP-DD interfaces, each supporting breaking out to four subinterfaces for high-density leaf deployment.
With quad programmable packet processing pipelines and 20 Match Action Unit stages per pipe, Aurora 810 delivers unmatched flexibility to the network. Besides high-performance switching, its Protocol-independent switch architecture (PISA) enables adjusting protocols in software, precise control over packets, deep packet inspection, unorthodox traffic management techniques, load balancing, and much more.
The Aurora 810 supports IEEE 1588-2008 PTPv2 to achieve clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond range. All of its ports are PTP-enabled for critical 5G carrier routing, media/broadcast, and BNG applications.
The system has BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) embedded to provide server-style management in the Ethernet switch. Besides the health monitoring of the temperature, power status, and cooling fans; BMC also aids in the deployment and management of software and hardware assets.
P4 Studio – the compilers and development tools needed to compile and debug programs to run on Tofino.
Support of the Stratum project combines next-generation SDN capability with the flexibility of Tofino Match-Action Unit pipelines.
A ready-to-use NOS, SONiC – an open source network operating system based on Linux that runs on switches from multiple vendors and ASICs. SONiC offers a full suite of network functionality, like BGP and RDMA, that has been production-hardened in the data centers of some of the largest cloud service providers. It offers teams the flexibility to create the network solutions they need while leveraging the collective strength of a large ecosystem and community.
