Teradiant Introduces Traffic Manager Chips for Core, Edge, Metro

Teradiant Networks, a start-up based in San Jose, California, introduced its line-up of traffic manager chips for core, edge, metro and enterprise networking equipment. Teradiant is offering two versions of its super-pipelined traffic managers: TeraPacket TM is designed for high-density linecards in systems that utilize switch fabrics; and TeraPacket TMS is designed for high-density, single-card systems that do not require separate switch fabrics. The traffic manager chips could be used in a range of designs, from low-cost fabric-less 40Gbps “pizza box” systems to terabit chassis-based systems. The chips are protocol-agnostic, enabling them to prioritize Ethernet, SONET, ATM, Frame Relay, IPv4, IPv6, and MPLS traffic. Teradiant also supports deep channelization capabilities enabling SONET channelization down to STS-1 levels. Performance scales from 10 Gbps to 40 Gbps. Teradiant also noted that it is the first to provide traffic manager chips (TeraPacket TMS) that incorporate on-chip switching at 20Gbps and 40Gbps.
