METROXS PRELIMINARY INDUSTRY-FIRST, 5G MULTI-SERVICE ACCESS PLATFORM MARCH 2007 GENERAL DESCRIPTION MetroXS is a complete carrier class 5G multi-service access reference design that achieves Ethernet & Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) transport over SONET/ SDH networks. MetroXS is composed of several market-proven Exar devices: the EXtendAR 48 (XRT95L53) multi-protocol framer, and Exar's OC-48/ STM-16 SONET/SDH PHY (XRT91L80), plus a channelized 5G Resilient Packet Ring (RPR) MAC, and 4 GE/24 FE port Ethernet aggregator. In addition, MetroXS includes Exar's unified software API structure enabling system vendors to port their innovative applications on this platform with ease. The hardware supports point-to-point or ring network configuration for the efficient and cost effective transport of packet data. The data path of processing elements is defined by a MPoS mapper (the XRT95L53), a 5G BW RPR-MAC, and a 4-port triplerate Ethernet aggregation device. The RPR-MAC east-side client port is sourced from the Ethernet aggregator while the un-occupied client port may be sourced from a third party network processor. The configuration and control of these data-path processing elements is performed with an MPC866 SBC hosting embedded Linux 2.6. The MetroXS software comprises of a suite of embedded Linux 2.6 low-level device drivers and OS transparent API for configuration and control of the data-path. The stacked architecture lends itself for easy portability of the device drivers and API across other OS platforms. A PC hosted GUI client communicates over a 10/100Base-Tx link with the MetroXS CLI shim layer over the API. The software suite also supports a diagnostic back-door serial port during bring-up and debug for future system level enhancements.
