Product Features
NP based 5th Generation Router
The NE80E, as the 5th generation router, adopts
Network Processor as the packet forwarding engine.
With dozens of forwarding micro-engines, hardware
co-processors and hardware accelerators, the Network
Processor can provide functional flexibility along
with high performance. Just by upgrading the micro
code, the NP-based router can provide desirable
new services. Thus it enables rapid service delivery
and helps to protect customers’ investment to
the largest extent.
Strong Service Capability
The NE80E is designed on the basis of Huawei's
multi-service Versatile Routing Platform (VRP).
In comparison with its counterparts from other
vendors, it is highly recognized for its strong
service capability. It has built-in layer 2 bridging
functions and supports high density and cost effective
Ethernet line cards, has comprehensive MPLS VPN
capabilities and can operate as both P and PE,
has hierarchical QoS feature implemented and can
guarantee QoS per user and per service, and supports
large variety of IPv6 features and enables smooth
migration from IPv4 to IPv6. With its strong service
capability, as well as its high reliability, excellent
scalability and maintainability, the NE80E offers
an ideal platform for operators to construct next
generation IP/MPLS backbones.
High Performance
The NE80E adopts distributed forwarding architecture
and non-block switching fabric. Its line cards
are equipped with powerful packet forwarding engine,
dedicated Content Addressing Memory (TCAM), professional
Traffic Management (TM) chipset. All these ensure
the NE80E to have an outstanding performance,
and it can achieve wire-speed packet forwarding
for IPv4, IPv6, MPLS, even with QoS and other
services enabled. The system delivers a forwarding
performance of 800 Mpps and it is scalable to
1600Mpps.
Carrier-class Reliability
The NE80E adopts carrier class design and the
availability of the system can reach 99.999%.
It has a passive backplane. All of the key parts
such as main control board, switching fabric,
power supply and fan, have redundant design and
are all hot swappable. Besides, Huawei has implemented
a large number of reliability features on the
NE80E, including IP/LDP FRR, MPLS TE FRR, VPN
FRR, MPLS OAM Tunnel Protection Group, BFD, RPR,
RRPP, Enhanced VRRP, Non-stop forwarding, Graceful
Restart, IGP Fast Convergence, Hot Patching, Ethernet
Trunk, IP Trunk etc. All of these features enable
Huawei to provide an end-to-end millisecond-level
reliability solution.
