Ethernet Packet Switch 1G
Overview
Comcores Ethernet Packet Switch 1G IP core is an advanced switch supporting buffering of large amounts of data in external RAM. The non-blocking Ethernet switch IP core enables fine-grained traffic differentiation for rich implementations of packet prioritization enabling per port and per queue shaping on egress ports.
The switch supports MAC learning, VLAN 802.1Q, multicast and broadcast as well as IEEE 1588 transparency. Each port provides a native interface for GMII Ethernet PHY devices.

However, networks that support time-sensitive applications face challenges in implementing adequate security mechanisms that also meet latency and jitter requirements. This includes networks...
O-RAN Fronthaul Transport Security using MACsec
Daniel Dik Sep 14 2022, 5G provides a range of improvements compared to existing 4G LTE mobile networks in regards to capacity, speed, latency and security. One of the main improvements is in the 5G RAN; it is based on a virtualized architecture where functions can be centralized close to the 5G core for economy or distributed as close to the edge as possible for lower latency performance. The functional split options for the baseband station processing chain results in a separation between...
