Unified IP per ATCA System

Requirement: ATCA Integrated system including all its blades should appear as

a single IP address towards the cloud and the rest of the networkEasy to discovered by other network elementsEasy to manage using external Layer 3 OSS/network managementsFits LTE architecture of All IP simple network architecture to all EPC elementsusing Layer 3 as transport technology

Switch redundancy is transparent to the network which is not affected byswitchover as no change in the IP layerFlows are routed/switched inside the chassis using load balancing or Layer 2protocols (e.g.: Q-in-Q)

ARM9 based BMC runs basic ShelfManagement application

Integrated x86 management node based onsingle/dual core CPU

Optional LCM for status display, parameterentry (system mount) with LCD4Linux API forLCM support

System logging to SDHC cards & improvedsystem event log sync between SHMs onXover Ethernet

NTP based system time synchronization (NTPServer)

SNMP Improved MIBs

Security - Radius / TACACS / TACACS+

Authentification SSL, IPSec for outbound management

traffic (QuickAssist offload)

Serial console server Boot server for all nodes in the system

Many different requirements between Datacom and Telecom

More Flexibility required to adapt to different market approaches More headroom needed for value added services and prepare for NFV

Which of the following best describes your ATCA Systemrequirements?

1. Dual-star 10G is enough for me now and the near future2. I need 40G now or within the next 2 years

3. I need 160G per blade in a dual dual-Star 40G topology4. I will skip 40G and go straight to 100G5. I need an architecture like eATCA
