Description
ZM32800 is a purpose-built Ethernet switch chip to address the growing demand for extreme low latency/jitter, comprehensive end-to-end tunnel network and rich network telemetry in the era of edge computing. 32800 provides superb flexible I/O connectivity capability, with a variety of port configurations, such as FlexE, QSGMII and USXGMII-M, to support full-range port speeds from 1000M to 400G.
Advanced Network Technology
ZM32800 is the first propose-built switch chip with FlexE. The device offers leading performance of packet process capability, super low latency of SPN FlexE via its SCL Layer1 cross connection, high-accuracy IEEE1588, and multi-SIDs of SRv6 capability which makes it ideal.
OIF 2.1 FlexE Interface
ZM32800 integrates FlexE interface based on OIF FlexE 2.1 protocol to provide slicing FlexE channel in up to 2x400G capability with the client speed granularity in multiples of 5gbps. In addition ZM32800 supports SCL Layer1 cross connection, FlexE OAM and PTP in idle block and Overhead block in FlexE frames, to address the low and fixed latency requirement.
Intelligent Network Telemetry Engine
ZM32800 integrates extensive Network Telemetry with different sensors for Counter stats, Path Sensor, Event Sensor and Flow Sensor to gather telemetry information based on port, flow or globally and can log this record information into local CPU or remote analysis server or SDN controller for further management and analytics of network.
Cloud applications, Edge computing are migrating from 10GbE to 25/100GbE with many new requirements, such as higher switching capability, lower latency and more flexible pipeline. Targeting at these emerging market developments, ZM32800 enables creative packet pipeline optimization with the RIX(Robust Intelligent Connect) technology to provide smarter networking connection solution.
