CHAPTER 1: FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Block Diagram
• Embedded RISC Executive Processor
• Integrated 32bit 33/66MHz PCI bus interface
The C-5e^TM NP, has an architecture specifically designed for networking applications. The
following sections describe each component of the C-5e NP.
The main components of the C-5e NP are:
• Channel Processors
• Executive Processor
• Fabric Processor
• Buffer Management Unit
• Table Lookup Unit
• Queue Management Unit
The C-5e NP conforms with both SONET and SDH. Therefore, OC-3(STS-3/STM-1), OC-12
(STS-12/STM-4, and OC48 (STS-48/STM-16).
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the C-5e NP, including its potential external interfaces.
For more information about the architecture of the C-5e NP, see the C-5e/C-3e Network
Processor Architecture Guide (part number C5EC3EARCH-RM).
