Comcerto® 2000


Overview

Description


The Comcerto 2000 is a new generation of cost-effective high-performance communications processors for the next-generation of networks. Combining powerful dual-core ARM Cortex A9 processors with OPAL™ software defined networking acceleration and a powerful suite of peripherals, the Comerto 2000 is ideally suited to switching, routing, security, multi-service gateways, enterprise class wireless access points & controllers, network attached storage and Voice-over-IP (VoIP) applications for residential, enterprise and networking equipment for small and medium businesses.

The first two devices in the series are Comcerto C2100 and C2200 with single-core and dual-core 1.2GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processors, respectively, with symmetric multi-processing (SMP), coherent level two cache and TrustZone® security. Both include Mindspeed’s OPAL (Open Packet Acceleration Logic) engine, a wire rate gigabit-speed programmable data-path acceleration engine and a comprehensive set of I/O and peripherals, as well as support for DDR3 with ECC.

In addition to the high-performance ARM IP-based subsystem, OPAL is a collection of fully-programmable wire speed network accelerators, which include powerful engines for IPv6 packet forwarding / Network Address translation (NAT), firewall/VPN, IPSec/SSL security processing, Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), QoS and storage network processing. 
  Comcerto 2000 

Through intelligent offloading, the Comcerto 2000 range supports wire rate Gigabit-per-second IPv6 NAT and firewall applications without utilizing the ARM Cortex processors keeping them fully available to run value-added applications from OEMs or service providers. This allows customers to differentiate and monetize their services. For example, in wireless enterprise access points for dual-band, multi-radio 802.11 ac, the system can offload Wi-Fi and protocol packet processing while ARM Cortex processors are available to run enterprise class services such as policy, authentication and roaming.
