Product Introduction
The CTC7132 (TsingMa) chip is the sixth generation of Centec's core switching chips for the evolution of edge computing technology in the cloud era. The chip supports 440Gbps I/O bandwidth, integrates ARM dual-core A53 processor, supports QSGMII and USXGMII and other port forms, and provides full-rate port capabilities from 100M to 100G.
The chips are innovatively integrated with X-Engine™, including OAM/BFD Engine, Telemetry Engine, Security Engine, and Wireless Engine. It provides enhanced feature capabilities and higher integration at wire speed, better serves multi-service access scenarios at the edge, and meets the network development trend of unknown networks and continuous convergence of service requirements.
• The OAM/BFD Engine provides high-precision, multi-entry OAM and BFD sessions, and integrates RFC2544 and TWAMP capabilities to provide an IP RAN access solution.
• The NetFlow function provided by Telemetry Engine provides session-based service statistics, packet loss statistics, and minimum and maximum delay jitter analysis, providing data support for service and traffic optimization.
• The Wireless Engine provides wire-speed CAPWAP encryption, depacking, and fragmentation reassembly capabilities, supporting 1G, 2.5G, and 5G multi-rate convergence, effectively supporting wired and wireless convergence.
As the sixth generation of Centec's chips, the CTC7132 inherits a wide range of features, including L2, L3, MPLS, VXLAN, MPLS SR and OAM/APS, with highlights including visualization, programmability, security and flow control, and high-precision clocking.
CTC7132 provides port speeds of 100M/1G/2.5G/5G/10G/25G/40G/50G/100G. Its SerDes design meets multiple port protocols: SGMII/QSGMII/USXGMII/XFI/SFI/XAUI/CAUi4/10G-KR/40G-KR4/100G-KR4/25G-KR/50G-KR2.
