VSC7464
52 Gbps Carrier Ethernet Switch with ViSAA™, VeriTime™, MPLS/MPLS-TP, and Layer-3 Routing Support
Highlights
Microsemi’s Carrier Ethernet switch family offers the highest performance,
market-ready solution for MEF CE 2.0 services.
• Virtualized Service Aware Architecture
(ViSAA™)
The VSC7464 LynX-2™ device targets IP Edge demarcation and aggregation
equipment to deliver Enterprise and mobile backhaul services. VSC7464
is based on Virtualized Service Aware Architecture (ViSAA™), a silicon
implementation that offers an unmatched level of Service Edge and Carrier
Ethernet Networking features. ViSAA achieves wirespeed performance for even
the most feature-rich Carrier Ethernet (CE) services. VSC7464 also integrates
VeriTime™, Microsemi’s patent-pending distributed timing technology that
delivers the industry’s most accurate IEEE 1588v2 timing implementation to
meet today’s LTE/LTE-A requirements.
• MPLS/MPLS-TP and Layer-3 routing
support
• MEF UNI and NNI functionality
• Hardware-based Ethernet OAM,
performance monitoring, and Service
Activation Testing (RFC 2544 and Y.1564)
• Network demarcation
The VSC7464 Carrier Ethernet switch contains up to twenty-four 10/100/1000
Mbps SGMII/SerDes ports, six 10/100/1000 Mbps QSGMII ports, and four
10 Gbps XAUI/SFI ports. VSC7464 provides a rich set of Carrier Ethernet
switching features such as hierarchical QoS, hardware-based OAM (Ethernet
and MPLS/MPLS-TP) and Service Activation Testing, protection switching, and
Synchronous Ethernet. Using Provider Bridging (Q-in-Q) and MPLS/MPLSTP technology, VSC7464 delivers MEF CE 2.0 EVCs. It features advanced
TCAM classification in both ingress and egress. Per-EVC features include
advanced L3-aware classification, a rich set of statistics, OAM for end-to-end
performance monitoring, and dual-rate policing and shaping.
• Hierarchical QoS for priority queuing and
subscriber separation
VSC7464 supports IPv4/IPv6 Layer-3 (L3) routing with up to 4K IPv4 (1K IPv6)
unicast LPM entries and 2K IPv4 (512 IPv6) L3 multicast groups. L3 security
features include source guard and reverse path forwarding tasks.
• Ethernet Access Device
• Service protection (linear, ring)
• Integrated timing: VeriTime™, SyncE
Applications
• Wireless and mobile backhaul
• Ethernet/MPLS demarcation
• Network Interface Device
VSC7464 supports Microsemi’s application programming interface for easy
integration with third-party application software. The device also supports
Microsemi’s CEServices application software, dramatically reducing customer
time-to-market.
