PacketMAX| AF10G4ACEv2 | 49410c03 List of Components Supplied The components supplied with each AF10G4ACEv2 are listed below. If any component is found to be missing, damaged, not working, or otherwise faulty, please report it immediately to Garland Technology Technical Support.
Hardware As shown in Figure 1, the AF10G4ACEv2 is a small form factor appliance, complete with an x86 CPU subsystem, that performs advanced packet conditioning applications. The hardware design is illustrated in Figure 1. The main building blocks are the FPGA Motherboard, x86 ComExpress Modules, and a network Interface featuring a 4 x10G SFP+ frontend, and a 40G QSFP.
PacketMAX| AF10G4ACEv2 | 49410c03 Service Node The AF10G4ACEv2 Service Node connects to device ports that send it streams of packets for packet conditioning on 10G or 40G ports. The AF10G4ACEv2 performs the required packet conditioning function on each ingress stream and performs a U-Turn on each link and returns the stream in the egress direction on the same device port.
850ms dedupe window. Time Stamping The AF10G4ACEv2 timestamps all packets at ingress. The timestamp is internally a 64-bit integer, with 32-bits of seconds and 32-bits of sub-seconds. The resolution is that of the FPGA main clock, namely 5ns.
PacketMAX| AF10G4ACEv2 | 49410c03 Parser Control For the AF10G4ACEv2 to perform accurate de-duplication, the parser skips encapsulating headers by default to isolate the actual IP packet of interest and masks volatile IP header fields. If desired encapsulating headers may be included via enabling awareness. All header types are disabled by default.
Stats Ingress and egress statistical information may be displayed on the AF10G4ACEv2. If the unit is in the 10G mode, then ports 0, 1, 2 and 3 display statistical information. If the unit is in the 40G mode, then port 4 display statistical information.
