Serial Technology Delivers 100+ Gbps of Inter-Chip Bandwidth for Next-Generation Networking Equipment
Overview Cortina Systems is driving the evolution of multi-service carrier and enterprise networks with advanced analog and digital communications ICs. Cortina Systems and Cisco Systems implemented the Interlaken protocol specification: a new technology for high-speed chip-to-chip packet transfers. Jointly owned and developed by Cortina and Cisco, this new specification eliminates the cost and performance barriers of existing interconnect standards by taking advantage of serial technology to build much higher-performance networking equipment. Interlaken builds upon the logical structure of the prevalent SPI4.2, or System Packet Interface Level 4, technology now widely used in networking equipment. It preserves the capabilities of SPI-4.2 with multiple logical channels and back-pressure information, while eliminating its bandwidth ceiling and drastically curtailing its associated pin-count cost.
