XMC-6280: 10-Gigabit Ethernet Interface Module with Quad SFP+ Ports Description

Acromag’s XMC-6280 provides a 10-gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) interface solution for data-intensive real-time embedded computing systems. Ultra-high performance is achieved using a hardware-based TCP/IP offload engine (TOE processor).

Implementing the TOE fully in hardware, relieves the CPU from TCP/IP overhead and frees it to perform other tasks. The TCP offload removes network bottlenecks to ensure determinism and reliability with low latency, even under high loads.

Typical applications include high-speed data storage, image collection/transfer, distributed critical control networks, and board-to-board interfaces.

Fully Integrated Network Interface Card
With the adoption of 10GbE interfaces and rapidly increasing volumes of data, even the most powerful embedded processors can no longer manage data flow without a significant reduction in performance. To solve this problem, Acromag’s XMC-6280 pairs a high-performance Chelsio T4 purpose-built multi-protocol processor with four channels of 10GbE connectivity. This combination maintains maximum 10GbE performance to meet the needs of data-intensive real-time applications.

High Performance Protocol Offload Engine
A PCI Express v2.0 ×8 host interface provides a high-speed connection to the system processor. With support for 5Gbps data rates, the PCIe interface delivers up to 32Gbps of bandwidth to the server. This connection accommodates stateless offloads, packet filtering (firewall offload), and traffic shaping (media streaming).

Complete and Flexible TCP Offload
The XMC-6280’s TOE ASIC has hundreds of programmable registers for protocol configuration and offload control. As a result, the XMC-6280 can offload TCP processing per connection, per server, per interface. It can also globally and simultaneously tunnel traffic from non-offloaded connections to the host processor for the native TCP/IP stack to process. Additionally, the XMC-6280 provides a flexible zero-copy capability for regular TCP connections, requiring no changes to the sender, to deliver line rate performance with minimal CPU usage.

Packet Switching and Routing
The XMC-6280 integrates a high-performance packet switch, which allows switching of traffic from any of the input ports to any of the output ports (wire-to-wire), and from any of the output ports to any of the input ports (host-to-host).

Compatibility
Acromag’s XMC-6280 provides guaranteed interoperability and compatibility with the full Ethernet standard.
Extensive Software Support
The XMC-6280 offers a full suite of protocol software and drivers. Linux software tools support all offload (TOE) and network interface (NIC) operations. Windows software supports NIC operations.
