Broadband World gigabit router report Finally, Charlotte’s Web was showing-off at Interop Atlanta. They loaded the Aranea-1 router with a mix of OC-192, 28 OC-48 and 64 OC-12 concurrent connections in a test designed to stress its switch fabric. The router was able to accommodate a large number of external BGP sessions while operating at IP wire-speed rates with no degradation in system performance. The staging included two Aranea-1 routers interconnected by OC-192 and OC-48 links and four IXIA 1600 chassis, offering a mix of OC-48c and OC-12c ports. The hot-staging event in Atlanta should quiet critics who doubt that a small Israeli company, even one backed by MRV Communications, can play with the big boys in the core router arena. The Aranea-1 is scheduled to enter carrier beta tests during the 3rd-4th quarters, and they expect first revenue shipments will occur as early as Q4. A single 16-slot chassis has 256 Gbps of switch capacity and 160 Gbps of I/O capacity using OC-192, and can support up to 320 Gbps with two shelves in a single rack. CW claims that multiple chassis can be interconnected via DWDM over great distances if necessary to form a router cluster that can be managed as a single logical router. They run into a little bit of trouble on the scalability front, however, because to interconnect the chassis they have to replace some I/O modules with dedicated ‘cell-cards.’ One aspect that does set them apart is the ability to run TDM traffic through the cell-based switch fabric. The router will feature OC-12 TDM blades that will allow the channelization of more than 3000 DS-3s. A new, higher-capacity version is also in the works. The Aranea-2 will feature a 640 Gbps switching core. broadbandpub.com
