  1. High Speed Optical Interconnect May08-06

  2. Problem Statement • LM is interested in using 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10 GbE) interfaces to interconnect multiple nodes. • Plug-in modules provide the physical interface. • The final system would be interconnected by fiber optic cable. • In the ATCA form factor, a single card may provide both the switching fabric as well as the I/O interfaces. • In the MicroTCA form factor, a MicroTCA Carrier Hub performs the switching function, while Advanced Mezzanine Cards provide the I/O interfaces.

  3. Need Statement • LM needs a well-designed high-speed networking architecture that can operate at an expected bandwidth and error bit rate. • Applications will be broad ranging, with such examples: • VoIP (Voice-Over-Internet Protocol) • Sensor data relaying • Control connections to complex devices

  4. Requirements • Functional •  The testing network shall be implemented with 10 Gbps components. • Either Advanced or Micro TCA components shall be used. • A minimum of three network interfaces to each network node shall be used. • The team shall test the network to determine real throughput.

  5. Requirements • Non-Functional • The solution shall be implemented before the Senior Design class completes in May 2008. • The solution should determine whether or not fiber optic components can be used within budgetary constraints.

  6. Requirements • Environmental • The solution is assumed to be implemented in an environment where the following will affect the final design: • Weight • Temperature • shock sensitivity

  7. Constraints, Limitations and Risks • Constraints • Team members will be unable to devote extensive amounts of time to the project due to conflicts with other classes. • Limitations • There will be a limited budget available for the purchase of components. • Risks • A team member could leave the project (sickness, internship, etc.) • No component could be offered within budget. • Component failure due to improper handling or usage

  8. Strategy

  9. Node Strategy

  10. Deliverables • The team shall present the chosen design solution to LM for approval before implementation. • The team shall provide weekly reports to LM. • The team shall present the test results to LM. • The team shall deliver a final report and all documentation to LM. • The team shall deliver the prototype to LM at the completion of this project.
