Follow on Google News | Ethernity Networks Announces 5G DU vRouter SolutionBy: Ethernity Networks With many mobile operators planning to employ disaggregated CPU-intensive Network Function Virtualization (NFV) software to handle the primary DU functions, the vast majority of the server's CPU cores will be occupied, leaving no capacity for a virtual router. The addition of an external cell site router (CSR) to the data path increases both capital and operating expenses. Ethernity's solution eliminates the need for a CSR by integrating the virtual routing software with the FPGA SmartNIC within the DU server. Furthermore, using its six 10G/25G eCPRI ports, a single ACE-NIC100 can aggregate up to 150 Gbps of data burst arriving from the 5G Radio Units (RU) toward the DU functions running on the server. The integrated router function then enables connectivity toward the rest of the cloud Radio Access Network (RAN). The ACE-NIC supports all mandatory clock synchronization options for DU (such as Sync-E and IEEE1588) to accurately insert time stamps recovered from the network as backup to the GPS signal. In addition, the ACE-NIC100 offers built-in hardware-based traffic management features, including packet classification, deep buffering with HQoS, and OAM, on top of the router data plane functions like L2/L3 VPN, MPLS, and segment routing.
