Explore the performance and features of the new generation of Aggregation Router

With the rapid development of routes, new technologies are also emerging. Aggregation routers are one of them. Compared with traditional routes, aggregation routers have many advantages, the main characteristics and advantages of the application are described here. How can we improve the performance and service quality of the Aggregation Router so that the Aggregation Router has high-end router reliability and high performance and the flexibility of accessing the router? Previously, NP/ASIC or high-performance CPU was adopted by high-end Broadband Router technology, and distributed architecture and high reliability technology of high-end devices, such as BFD, NSF/GR, and te frr.

Traditional NP processors cannot process complex business commands due to code instruction space restrictions. At the same time, they have to abandon business processing because different data packets adopt the same processing process; the traditional ASIC processor uses a fixed hardware chip technology, which provides the same processing method for any packets and cannot flexibly change the processing process of data packets according to user requirements.

Traditional Aggregation Router manufacturers often support services through centralized business boards, such as providing specialized traffic statistics boards. This kind of modular device development requires users to pay more cost to purchase the business processing board, and the original innovative distributed advantages Go Back To The performance bottleneck of centralized processing in business processing.

The industry-leading multi-core distributed processing technology provides new technical solutions for these needs. The multi-core processor combines high-performance data forwarding and high-performance business processing with the flexible architecture of traditional CPU processors, it brings a brand new business experience to users. H3C SR6600 series fully distributed multi-core processor architecture Aggregation Router is an innovative embodiment of the New Generation aggregation backbone Aggregation Router product design philosophy.

The multi-core CPU processor has a programming interface similar to a common CPU and the ability to flexibly process various commands. During data forwarding, it can determine whether the currently forwarded data packets need to be processed by services at any time, once the data packets currently forwarded need to be processed, the multi-core CPU processor can promptly send the data packets to the corresponding module for business processing.

Each Business Board uses a high-performance multi-core processing engine, which allows you to easily put the traffic statistics and other business features that traditional distributed aggregation routers need to centrally process into the multi-core processors of each slot for processing, it breaks the performance bottleneck caused by centralized processing of traditional services.

The new-generation Aggregation Router makes full use of the advantages of multi-core CPU, and divides the traditional Aggregation Router processing into two parts: control plane and data plane, which are handled by different kernels inside the CPU, ensure that the business on the control plane is not affected by data plane processing. The new-generation Aggregation Router uses the architecture separated from the business interface board and physical interface card. If the network is transformed, you do not need to replace the business interface board. You only need to replace the interface card to greatly reduce the cost of Network Interface upgrading.
