GENERAL
Today’s networks must support multi-
service applications such as combined
packetized voice and data while
maintaining service level agreements.
The challenge is to design products that
meet customer expectations for quality
without the need for expensive
processors or complicated software.
The MSP5000 belongs to a full family of
Multi-Service Processors designed to
meet the performance, QoS, and
security needs of communications
equipment used within the customer
premise.
The MSP5000 is an ideal solution for
IADs, IP PBX's, and Multi-Service
Access Devices (MSAD). As shown
below, it includes a MIPS CPU, two
10/100 Ethernet MACs, a Security
Engine, a Voice Engine, and a Packet
Engine.
Because the MSP5000 eliminates the
need for a separate processor, DSP, and
a security chip, it provides a new level of
price/performance for IADs and MSADs.
The MSP5000 has a unique system
architecture that provides wire-speed
performance. This architecture includes
a powerful MIPS CPU, a 3.2 Gbit/s bus,
and intelligent context aware DMA
engines. Together, this results in an
extremely cost effective CPE solution
that includes security.
To reduce time-to-market, PMC-Sierra
offers comprehensive support for the
MSP5000, including evaluation boards,
software, application engineering
support, training, and documentation
that together accelerate the product
development process. In addition, the
MSP5000 supports Linux, VxWorks, or
custom operating systems.
