Ethernet TSN Advanced Switch 10M/100M/1G/10G/25G - Manticore

Overview

Comcores Manticore 10M/100M/1G/10G/25G IP is an advanced Ethernet Switch with an extensive set of QoS features and statistics. The switch supports up to 8 queues, classification, VLAN 802.1Q, multicast and broadcast as well as IEEE 1588 transparent clock. Each port provides a native interface for Ethernet PHY devices. IEEE 802.1 Protocol Implementation Conformance Statement is available, specifying exact feature-set.

It can provide support for key TSN features including IEEE 802.1Qbu and 802.3br Frame preemption, 802.1Qbv Time aware shaping, 802.1Qav Credit based shaping, 802.1Qci Per-Stream Filtering and Policing, and 802.1CB Frame replication and elimination for reliability. This enables the use of the IP in high speed time-critical applications.

O-RAN Fronthaul Transport Security using MACsec

Daniel Dik - Sep 14, 2022. In this webinar, we will take a look at MACsec as a persuasive security solution for the O-RAN Fronthaul. We will understand the very sensitive data that the fronthaul transports, its strict high-performance requirements, and the urgent need to secure it against several threats and attacks. We will learn the features that MACsec has to protect the fronthaul together with its implementation challenges. Finally, we will see how the Comcores’ MACsec solution can be...

What is MACsec?

What is MACsec? Morten Kofoed Esbjørn - Sep 08, 2022. Media Access Control Security (MACsec)  is a layer2 security protocol standardized by the IEEE that operates on Ethernet frames. It uses AES GCM cryptography with 128-bit key and 256-bit key versions. MACsec is designed to provide authentication, confidentiality and integrity for data transported on point-to-point links in the enterprise Local Area Network (LAN) using the Advanced Encryption Standard with Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM) data...
