DSS NETWORKS ANNOUNCES GIGABIT PRODUCTS FOR HIGH THROUGHPUT AND FRAME RATE APPLICATIONS ADDING SUPPORT FOR TORNADO 2.2/VXWORKS 5.5 FOR HIGH-END INTEL PENTIUM4 AND XEON PROCESSOR BASED BOARDS.
Irvine, CA - Feb 19, 2003 -- DSS Networks announces one of the fastest network benchmarks ever for supporting high-frame applications such as voice over IP,
digital broadcast video and other high-speed multimedia applications.
To support these very demanding high-performance applications, additional driver and board support for Tornado 2.2 and VxWorks 5.5 for Intel architecture
and pcPentium4 BSP is now available.
Benchmark tests were performed on a single processor 2-GHZ Intel Xeon based system using our Models 5161 and 6161 Gigabit Ethernet embedded PMC controllers.
Main board used was a SuperMicro model P4DL6 with ServerWorks LE chipset running Tornado2.2 / vxWorks 5.5 with BSP support for pcPentium4.
Tests results are as follows:
Single-port test benchmarks:
- Over 850,000 60-byte frames per second.
- Over 654,000 204-byte (170-byte payload) frames per second.
- Over 242 megabytes per second (1.93 Gb) using 1500-byte frames.
Dual-port test benchmarks (2-ports in same system):
- Over 1.2 million 60-byte frames per second.
- Over 1.02 million 204-byte (170-byte payload) frames per second.
- Over 484 megabytes per second (3.87 Gb) using 1500-byte frames.
For those who prefer Linux or Embedded Linux platforms, similar results are also obtainable on same system using DSS Network's high-performance Linux kernel driver.
Our model 5161 Gigabit Ethernet PMC Mezzanine 64-bit PCI controller uses the DP83820 Gigabit Ethernet MAC and DP83865 transceiver from National Semiconductor.
Our model 6161 Gigabit Ethernet PCI controller (also using the DP83820 Gigabit Ethernet MAC) adds a Broadcom BCM5421S transceiver for support of both fiber and
copper interfaces. Both these controllers offer intelligent bus-master DMA-engine technology combined with CPU host offload features, which the optimized driver
uses to minimize overhead to the host CPU.
"Customers are choosing Gigabit Ethernet for many reasons including its simplicity, speed, cost and compatibility", says Jerry Marcinko, President and CEO of
DSS Networks, Inc. "In order for vendors of Gigabit Ethernet and other leading-edge high-speed products to provide robust working solutions for their customers,
they must be able to help their customers solve the associated system-level and performance issues. This can be accomplished by providing robust boards and software
with built-in management and statistics, and by providing high-performance benchmarks and technical support expertise in deploying these gigabit technologies.
Many vendors are able to provide Gigabit Ethernet cards, but very few exhibit the technical expertise required to make these gigabit technologies perform.
This is becoming ever more increasingly apparent as we head toward 10-gigabit technologies and the new high-speed bus and back-plane technologies.
In addition to our hardware capabilities, this is another major area where DSS Networks can offer differentiation above that of our competitors".
