Introduction to IPv6 core routers

When laying an IPv6 network, we must improve the existing routers. Now, let's introduce the IPv6 core router launched by Huawei. Based on the devices, we can also set up corresponding networking solutions.

Huawei recently launched the first 10 Gigabit IPv6 core router NetEngine 5000E (NE5000E) in China ). Adhering to the fifth-generation router concept, this device adopts distributed and scalable design based on advanced network processor technology, IPv6 technology, ASIC Technology, and optical backplane interconnection technology, implements line rate forwarding for services such as IPv4, IPv6, and MPLS. After complicated services such as ACL, QoS, and traffic statistics are added, IPv4 and IPv6 can still maintain constant line rate forwarding performance.

NE5000EIPv6 core router is a top-level core router product launched by Huawei for IP Core backbone network nodes, man core nodes, and Data Interconnection center nodes. The capacity of the NE5000E single-host frame interface is 1.28 Tbps. The single slot can provide 40 Gb interfaces without blocking switching. The single-host Frame Forwarding performance is 1600 Mpps. It supports multi-host frame expansion through the optical backplane interconnect technology, the interface capacity of the entire machine is smoothly expanded to 80 TB.

The ultra-high forwarding performance and massive exchange capacity of NE5000E fully meet the needs of the new generation network for bandwidth performance, service quality, and service provision capabilities. Because the NE5000E core router adopts the latest fifth-generation router design technology, it has high-quality QoS capabilities, fully supports MPLS, provides mpls vpn services, and supports mpls te/FRR functions, fully qualified for high-performance P and PE applications. On the other hand, this device supports large-capacity multicast line rate forwarding and can be used with mpls vpn, QoS, and other features.

As an advanced device for next-generation networks, NE5000EIPv6 core routers fully support IPv4 and IPv6. The device implements IPv6 Forwarding Based on hardware, supports IPv6 Static Routing, and supports dynamic routing protocols such as BGP4/BGP4 +, RIPng, OSPFv3, and ISISv6; supports ICMPv6 MIB, UDP6 MIB, TCP6 MIB, and IPv6 MIB. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6 protocol stacks and comprehensively supports IPv6 features and services.

To address the current trend of IPv6 technology development, NE5000E supports a wide range of transition technologies from IPv4 to IPv6: Manual Tunnel Configuration, automatic tunnel configuration, and 6to4 tunnel configuration. And can achieve Gigabit NAT-PT through hardware, processing capabilities to achieve line speed, this is in the leading position in the international field.

In addition, Huawei also launched Quidway? The core vro of NetEngine 80E has an interface capacity of 320 GB. The single slot provides a 10 Gb POS line rate interface. This product also provides line rate forwarding performance for IPv4 and IPv6 lines at the same speed, and can be easily upgraded to the NE5000E core router.

As the core node of the network, Quidway, including NE5000E? NetEngine series core routers have been commercially available in China and are widely recognized by customers. We believe that in future construction, the high performance, rich business features, high reliability and modular scalability of the NE5000E 10g IPv6 core router will provide more value to users.
