Visit Xilinx at OFC 2018 to discuss building faster, flexible 5G and cloud network infrastructure.
The following showcases and demos will be featured throughout the show.
400G Packet Classification and Search
Renesas has created the 400Gbps ACL demo using their TCAM device with the Xilinx VCU110 (VU190 FPGA) and four instances of SDNet.
Flexible Inband Network Telemetry for Flow Analytics
Highlighted in this demonstration is In-band Network Telemetry for flow analytics with a Xilinx FPGA and Barefoot Switch ASIC (Tofino) using P4 Programmability.
Flexible Line Systems with FlexE
See how flexible line system can be created for routers and switches with fixed interfaces. Using FlexE to adapt these fixed interfaces to the evolving flexible line systems is highlighted in this demonstration.
FlexE Implementations for 5G
This demonstration shows how FlexE can be adapted to manage 5Gbps slices and use 50G optics to allow flexibility for 5G transport.
Flexible PON Solutions
Demonstrating flexible PON solutions using Xilinx MPSoC and FPGA devices. This demo will address the 10G and future 25G PON with a single development and facilitates the OCP and whitebox efforts in the market.
