The cPCI-6240 is an IXP2400 based PICMG® 2.16 compliant
Network Processor Board. Dual PMC sites are provided to support
PTMC and control plane processing PMC modules. An on-board
Ethernet switch provides flexibility in the routing of packets to and
from the network processor, front panel, and PICMG 2.16 interface.
This board, in conjunction with ADLINK Framer-Mapper Quad OC-
3 or Single OC-12 PMC-8500 modules, provide an ideal solution
for the conversion of SONET ATM, or Packet-over-Sonet (PoS) to
IP (Gigabit Ethernet). The cPCI-6240 is designed to meet the
needs of network access and edge applications for wireless and
broadband markets including BSC/RNC/MSC, CMTS, DSLAM,
FTTx, NG-DLC, etc. The cPCI-6240 delivers ultimate performance
in multi-service switch and layer 4-7 applications including firewall,
IDS, and load balancing, etc.
