Orca N2025
The Orca-N2025 is a dynamic, high-performance P4 DPU, ideal for OVS, RDMA acceleration, and storage, featuring a compact design with an Intel Ice Lake processor.
Overview
Orca-N2025 is a P4 programmable DPU with independent intellectual property rights, which supports two 25G data networks ports and two 1000BASE-T GE management network ports. The P4 network acceleration engine is a VLIW ISA P4 processor designed for vSwitch acceleration, which uses specific P4 instructions to complete protocol parsing and packet encapsulation and decapsulation, which can support tens of millions of flow tables while ensuring packet line-speed forwarding.
Features
The Orca-N2025 DPU has the characteristics of high performance, low latency, and high flexibility. The dynamically programmable P4 engine enables users to flexibly extend or customize new protocols in the P4 language according to specific application requirements, and at the same time, the service flow is not interrupted when updating and upgrading services in P4 applications. As a result, Orca-N2025 can be used in different application scenarios in different fields, and is the best choice for applications such as OVS, RDMA acceleration, bare metal, and storage acceleration.
