C-GEP 20 Monitoring application
The C-GEP 20 Monitoring system is the direct successor to the CBOARD. The devices main purpose remains the same: lossless packet processing on 10 Gb/s and distribution to 1 Gb/s monitor interfaces. Compared to the CBOARD, the C-GEP 20 has 20 pieces of 1 Gb/s interfaces, DDR3 memory modules, and one single, but more powerful Virtex 6 FPGA processor.
FPGA firmware functions
- 10 Gbit/s MAC receiver with error detection,
- NTP timestamp handler module, timestamp source is synchronized on both 10 Gbit/s interfaces,
- Ethernet frame parser, decode multiple layers of protocols,
- Extended filter rulesets with many, protocol specific parameter settings,
- Traffic distribution to multiple outputs,
- Packet steering by GTP-U ports or fragmented IP packets,
- Packet truncate length is selectable for every filter rule,
- Hardware implementation of TCP stream sender module.
