BCM53124B0MKMMLG Interface - Controllers

BCM53124B0MKMMLG is a 24-port 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet switch family that helps diverse broadband and broadcast implementations, including Fiber To The Home (FTTH), Ethernet over Cable (EoC) and Fiber To The Node (FTTN). BCM53124B0MKMMLG devices are available in two formats: one as a stand alone, managed Ethernet switch, and the other as an integrated chipset solution that includes network processor, switching fabric, and dedicated RAM and ROM. As the integration levels increase within the system, the overall number of components and circuit pads decrease, thus reducing the system\'s total cost of ownership and accelerating time to market.

The BCM53124B0MKMMLG family offers advantages in ‘multi-service aggregation’ as well as media agility in deploying network designs that support diverse services over multiple access technologies. For example, the integration of Layer 2.5/3 switching within the device provides advanced QoS capabilities and Layer 3 routing options for VoIP, IPTV, and other streaming multimedia services. BCM53124B0MKMMLG can also be easily configured for advanced traffic policing and layer 2 switching granularity for multi-service deployment.

Application Field

From integrated chips to stand alone managed switches, the BCM53124B0MKMMLG family offers an optimal solution for preparing, controlling, and managing various stages of modern IP-based networks. Such applications include Fiber To The Home (FTTH) or Fiber To The Business (FTTB) distribution networks, mobile backhaul networks, enterprise networks, Metro Ethernet networks, and Internet Data Center (IDC) networks.

The BCM53124B0MKMMLG devices offer a complete turnkey solution by allowing users to control, monitor, and analyze all network traffic from a single window, using the advanced traffic management and control features. This allows users to keep track of events, such as packets drops, jitter, and latency, while maintaining an uninterrupted network service.

The BCM53124B0MKMMLG family is also true scale-to-fit solutions in terms of power requirements. Scalability gives the user option to fit in to different power and space requirements. The fully featured management capabilities give operators the flexibility to tune and optimize their access networks to increase service-level agreement and improve end user experience.

Working Principle

The BCM53124B0MKMMLG uses a combination of deep packet inspection (DPI) and advanced traffic management and control functions to provide highly flexible, carrier-class Ethernet switching. These functions can be used for both wireline and wireless networks, helping users achieve their desired capacity, availability, and performance goals.

The BCM53124B0MKMMLG can be configured to provide packet forwarding, processing, and filtering and virtual switching. When coupled with Layer 2.5/3 switching and advanced QoS options, it is capable of supporting diverse services, such as VoIP, IPTV, e-commerce, and other high-bandwidth applications. It also supports advanced traffic policing and Layer 2 switching granularity for multi-service deployments.

The BCM53124B0MKMMLG offers highly efficient packet processing, employing such features as wire-speed packet forwarding and pass-through queuing. It also provides wire-speed traffic matching and control, and provides enhanced scheduling algorithms in order to ensure smooth network performance.

The BCM53124B0MKMMLG family takes advantage of advanced technologies and standards, such as Quality of Service (QoS), Layer 4 Switching (L4S), and Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs). These technologies enable the BCM53124B0MKMMLG to provide an effective solution for a broad range of network applications, ranging from metropolitan and enterprise, to wireless applications and more.
