Test 400GE and 25GE Network Equipment Quickly, Efficiently, and Accurately—Pick any Three by Thananya Baldwin, Senior Director of Strategic Programs at Ixia and Gilles Garcia, Director of Wired Communication at Xilinx

• In this presentation, Xilinx® talks with Ixia about how they surmounted the many obstacles to efficient 400GE and 25GE testing by leveraging Xilinx's All Programmable devices to get the Ixia 400GE and 25GE tester families to market quickly.

Wednesday, March 25 at 2:30 pm – 3:00 pm, Expo Theater III #2647

Enable Your 500G/1T OTN Line Card Today with All Programmable FPGAs by David Yeh, OTN Product Marketing Manager at Xilinx 

• Xilinx will discuss how programmable logic provides the partial reconfiguration capabilities, large number of high speed analog IOs and mix signal capabilities to build high density, scalable and flexible 500G/1T line cards today.

Thursday, March 26 at 1:30 pm – 2:00 pm, Room 410

Programmable Hardware for High Performance SDN by Gordon Brebner, Distinguished Engineer at Xilinx

• This presentation will discuss how the Field Programmable Gate Array offers a flexible bridge between emergent photonic technologies and next-generation data center servers, via programmable hardware.

Xilinx Demonstrations – Booth #729

• High Density 100G OTN Switching Solution on a Single Virtex UltraScale FPGA

This demonstration showcases Xilinx's high-density OTN switching solution featuring the Xilinx® Virtex® UltraScale™ VU095 device supporting 2x100G OTN switching applications with an upgrade path to 4/5x100G OTN switching on a larger Virtex UltraScale VU190 device.

• Single Chip 400G Ethernet Solution Featuring the Virtex UltraScale FPGA

This end-to-end solution demonstration showcases the industry's first single-chip 400GE solution featuring the Xilinx Virtex UltraScale VU095 device with pre-standard 400GE MAC and PCS IP connected to four sets of Sumitomo Electric CFP4 LR4 modules, connected to the JDSU ONT 400GE test solution with four sets of JDSU LR4 modules.

• Low Latency 4x25G Ethernet MAC Solution

This demonstration utilizes the Virtex UltraScale VCU107 board communicating over four channels of 25G Ethernet through three meters of direct attached copper cable with QSFP28 form factor to Ixia's Xcellon-Multis QSFP28 100/4x25GE load module. The Xilinx low latency 25G Ethernet MAC supports the 25G Ethernet Consortium specification and will support the future IEEE 25GE specification.

• Efficient CPRI over OTN Solution (OTU2r)

This pre-standard OTU2r (CPRI over OTN) demonstration shows how to maximize the efficiency of front haul links. The demo utilizes a JDSU tester to provide the CPRI signals which a Kintex®-7 FPGA then maps into an OTU2r container.
