NE40E Switch Fabric Units

Product Overview
The Switch Fabric Unit (SFU) responsible for switching data between interface boards is a key component of the
NE40E Series Routers.
The NE40E Series Routers support several kinds of modular SFUs: SFUI-200-B, SFUI-200-C, SFUI-480-B,
SFUI-480-C, SFUI-1T-B and SFUI-1T-C (Figure 1).

Product Features
The SFU responsible for switching data between interface boards is a key component of the NE40E. The NE40E
uses switching chips developed by Huawei and Memory-Crossbar-Memory (M-C-M) to provide a three-level
switching mode. Level-1 and level-3 switching use a shared-memory model and are performed on LPUs; level-2
switching uses a Crossbar model and is performed on SFUs. Figure 1 shows the SFU of the NE40E.
The level-1 switching chip on one LPU is fully connected to the level-2 switching chips on SFUs. The level-2
switching chips on the SFUs are also fully connected to the level-3 switching chip on another LPU. In addition,
the level-2 crossbar switching chips work in load balancing mode on multiple switching planes. The entire SFU
is unblocked. The following describes how data packets are transmitted across the SFU.
1. Data packets enter an LPU through physical interfaces and are fragmented into cells of a fixed length.
These cells are then sent to the level-1 switching chips. After being buffered and scheduled, the cells enter
the crossbar switching chips on the SFU. The level-1 switching chip on an LPU is fully connected to all of
the level-2 switching chips. As a result, the same number of cells can be distributed to each level-2
switching plane. This implements load balancing on switching planes and facilitates fault tolerance.
2. After the cells reach the crossbar switching chips, the crossbar switching chips schedule the cells to the
corresponding outbound interfaces according to the destination interfaces of the data packets. The cells
are then sent to the level-3 switching chips on another LPU. At this point, the switching of the cells by the
level-2 switching chips is completed.
3. After the cells reach the level-3 switching chips on another LPU, the system searches for the destination
interfaces. Once found, the cells are reassembled and sent out through physical interfaces. At this point,
switching of the data packets is completed.
