What does MSSP stand for?

The new chip gives system developers substantial design flexibility, speeds time-to-market, and reduces the overall cost of developing Internet Protocol core and edge routers, multi-service switching platforms (MSSPs), and optical networking products.

Ixia's MSM product line targets the performance, scalability, and functional validation of Multi-Service Provisioning Platforms, Multi-Service Switching Platforms, Edge and Core Routers, Digital Cross Connect Systems, and Add and Drop Multiplexers.

The strategy is based on the highly-flexible and field-proven Fujitsu FLASHWAVE(R) 4500 Multi-Service Switching Platform (MSSP), which offers the benefits of a Digital Cross-connect System (DCS) without the cost and scalability issues that hinder existing solutions.

For years, we have watched customers manage the flow, control and buffering of data from multiple inputs in terabit routers, multi-service switching platforms, wireless base stations and data acquisition applications using a myriad of home-grown solutions employing standalone memory such as SRAM and DRAM blocks and a portion of either an ASIC or FPGA for control," stated Michael Olsen, director of strategic marketing for IDT.

The IDT multi-queue flow-control ICs with DDR/SDR capabilities are ideal for applications where quality of service (QoS), data differentiation and parallel buffering of multiple data streams are required, including terabit routers, multi-service switching platforms and wireless base stations.

Nortel Networks Passport 7000 is one of the fastest-growing multi-service switching platforms in the world.

The Series 2500 Network Exchange Data Switches are high-performance, multi-service switching platforms.

Nasdaq:IDTI), a leading communications IC provider, today introduced the multi-queue family of FIFOs for solving queuing and scheduling problems in high-performance networking applications, such as terabit routers, multi-service switching platforms, and wireless base stations.
