Ethernet Switch 10G
Overview
Comcores Ethernet Switch 10G IP core is a highly configurable and size-optimized implementation of a non-blocking switch that allows continuous transmissions between 10G Ethernet ports.
The switch supports MAC learning, VLAN 802.1Q, and multicast.
Each port provides a native interface for XGMII Ethernet PHY devices.

O-RAN Fronthaul Security using MACsec
WHITEPAPER - O-RAN Fronthaul Security using MACsec With 5G being deployed for time-sensitive applications, security is becoming an important consideration. At the same time, Open Radio Access Networks (RAN) are gaining more interest from mobile carriers and governments. Yet, Open RAN networks have serious security challenges, especially in the RAN fronthaul where there are strict timing requirements. This paper proposes MACsec as an efficient data link layer security solution that can assist...
