A Gigabit Ethernet Composite Network Card and Its Implementation Method

Abstract

The present invention provides a Gigabit Ethernet composite network card and its implementation method, including a CPU control module, an optical module, a serial-to-parallel conversion module, a transceiver module, a firmware memory module, a PCIE bridge chip module, a memory module, a parameter memory module, Algorithm memory module, RS232 interface chip module and two PCIE×4 downlink ports; the CPU control module is a many-core processor, connected to the serial-to-parallel conversion module, transceiver module, firmware memory module, algorithm memory module, parameter memory module , PCIE bridge chip module, memory module and RS232 interface chip module; The SFP module includes two SFP interfaces and two SFP+ interfaces, and the two SFP+ interfaces are connected with the CPU control module by the serial-to-parallel conversion module, The two SFP interfaces are connected to the CPU control module through the transceiver module. The many-core processor is used as the CPU processing module of the network card to achieve a balance between performance, power consumption and cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-performance network card, in particular to a gigabit and ten gigabit Ethernet composite network card. Background technique [0002] In the current market, there are generally several ways to implement 10GbE network cards: dedicated ASIC, NP processor, and FPGA. The solution implemented with ASIC has the highest line speed, but the function is very single and cannot be flexibly changed; the solution implemented with FPGA is very flexible in design, but the cost and performance are poor; the solution implemented with NP is powerful but costly, and because of its special architecture Programming is difficult. [0003] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a way to implement a network card by using a many-core processor to achieve a balance between performance, power consumption and cost. Contents of the invention [0004] A Gigabit Ethernet composite network card provided by the present invention...
