FP Network Processor Technology

Nokia’s new generation of network processor silicon, FP5, is designed specifically to ensure your business continues to thrive in these increasingly uncertain times. FP5 builds on FP4’s no-compromise approach, adding more capacity, integration, security capabilities and size reduction, all while significantly reducing power consumption. With FP5, you gain the agility to quickly evolve your services, neutralize new or escalating network security threats and satisfy growing capacity needs while maintaining optimal efficiency, performance and scale.

Key benefits of IP routing platforms powered by FP5 for service providers, webscale companies and enterprises include:

• A fully buffered architecture with line-rate memories ensures deterministic performance under all network loads and conditions
• First NPU to support 112G SERDES enabling 800GE interfaces and a new generation of power-efficient optics
• Enables 75% power reduction over previous FP silicon while offering more than a 3X increase in performance in the same footprint and power envelope
• Silicon-based IP network security with ANYsec line rate encryption and multi-level DDoS mitigation capabilities, without performance impact

The FP4 chipset delivers unprecedented scale, security and functionality without sacrificing performance. It is fully programmable and designed for a longer lifecycle with unique architecture innovations that provide unmatched economic benefits and investment protection. FP4 also features a very high degree of component integration. This integration significantly reduces the chipset footprint, leading to lower complexity and power consumption.

With IP routing platforms powered by FP4, service providers, webscale companies and enterprises can:

• Support massive, multi-dimensional scale without compromising intelligence or performance
• Adapt to transient conditions with real-time network telemetry and insight-driven automation
• Secure systems and data with network-integrated DDoS mitigation
• Get maximum value from existing network investments with routing platforms that deliver hardware and software extensibility

FP3 was the world’s first 400G network processor. Today, it powers the industry’s most scalable and high-performing portfolio of IP edge and core router platforms. FP3 silicon will continue to coexist with new FP4 routing silicon within our IP router portfolio.

With IP routing platforms powered by FP3, service providers, webscale companies and enterprises can:

• Deploy high-density 10GE, 40GE and 100GE line cards
• Scale bandwidth without sacrificing network performance
• Increase port density and enable more efficient service and application delivery
• Reduce footprint and power consumption with high-capacity line cards
