he Paion GES0016 is one of a powerful new series of high-performance chips
from Paion. OEMs can use them to build state-of-the-art Fast Ethernet/Gigabit
Ethernet switches. The chips work together in a variety of configurations with
the GEP2C02 network processors and other GES0016 switch fabrics to build a
switch ranging from simple Fast-Ethernet-to-Gigabit-Ethernet uplinking all the
way up to complex multi-stage non-blocking 512-port switches with hundreds of
gigabits per second of throughput. All configurations give wirespeed
performance with dramatically minimized latency while avoiding Head Of Line
(HOL) blocking.
The Paion gigabitPLUS architecture offers outstanding computing power for
high-performance switch design. Network Processor chips are completely
programmable and designed for optimum system performance and extendibility.
Non blocking memory access and other patent pending techniques allow rapid
on-board routing decisions. And a high degree of functional integration
minimizes chip count while allowing for all the sophisticated traffic classification,
shaping and management features demanded in today's emerging
Differentiated Service system offerings.
These chips give you the power to build tomorrows switches - today.

Tremendous Scalability and Power
-
The GES0016 switch fabric ICs can be clustered to give non-blocking
switch fabric performance for the GEP2C02 Network Processors providing wire speed Layer 2-7 switching in configurations
ranging from 32 Fast Ethernet Lines to 128 Gigabit Ethernet Lines.
Path Availability Switch Tables
-
Updated at least every 160 ns, the switch tables maintain status information
on all paths through the multi-level switch fabric configuration. Optimum path selection decisions can be made by the attached
GEP2C02 Network Processors ensuring that cross-switch packet forwarding latency is the lowest in the industry.
Flexible Configuration
-
The switch fabric chips can be arranged singly - with up to eight GEP2C02 Network
Processors attached - or in a variety of multi-chip multi-level configurations. By connecting chips together in a multi-level Clos
architecture arrangement, non-blocking packet switching systems of up to 256 Gbps switching can be built. The GEP2C02
Network Processors can be optionally configured with a redundant fabric link, allowing an extremely robust system design.
Out-of-Band Control Channel
-
Paion uses a unique patent-pending out-of-band state backprocessing
communications path to pass path control information through the switch fabric. Data moves through the fabric at wirespeed -
unimpeded by control information.
