During Exhibit Hours | Xilinx Booth
The following demos will be featured from Xilinx and its ecosystem throughout the show.

Industry First 400GE Multi-Vendor Network
This demo features the world’s first standards-based 400GE MAC and PCS IP in a Xilinx Virtex® UltraScale+™ VU9P FPGA. Showcasing the emerging 400GE standard interoperability between multiple vendors, the demo illustrates the Xilinx 400G solution connecting to a 400GE CFP8 400GBASE-LR8 module which in turn connects to a 3^rd party test set in the Ethernet Alliance booth.

FlexE for DCI Transport
Demonstrating FlexE, this demo illustrates channelization functions and demonstrates how multiple clients can be transported using FlexE. It will also highlight the ability of FlexE to carry larger data pipes and match them to transport links for optimal utilization of the link budget.

Optical Technology Abstraction in DCI Transport
With the emergence of differing optical technologies (DSPs, PAM4, Coherent, Extended Reach LR) customers must abstract such technologies from a system and software perspective. This demo illustrates how Xilinx FPGAs provide the required abstraction from differing technology integration by different manufacturers and enable designers to choose or mix optical technologies on a single platform.

Automation and Security Functions for DCI Solutions
This demonstration shows how LLDP packets can be snooped on transport line cards to allow a SDN controller to build a network topology for automation integral to data center networks. It also shows the use of IEEE compliant MACSec to encrypt and authenticate the link for security.

56Gb/s PAM-4 Transceiver Performance over Backplane
This demonstration showcases Xilinx’s 56G PAM-4 Transceiver test chip in 16nm FinFET.
