APS6132D

Reinforce Your Core

General Product Description

The APS Networks APS6132D switch is designed as a spine switch for enterprise networks or security solutions using the P4 programming language.
This unit enables enterprise L2/L3 switching across the 32x QSFP28 at line rate.
The APS6132D as a spine switch complements the APS2156D/APS2156DG which acts as a TOR/leaf switch with an aggregated bandwidth of 3.2Tb/s non-blocking throughput.

Combined with internal CPU Ethernet connectivity, a 4-core CPU processor, and optional PTP, the APS6132D is ideal for developing P4-enabled solutions while providing connectivity for spine or optical network devices.

Designed on Open Frameworks

The APS6132D is designed around open framework principles. The BMC is designed using RunBMC Framework from Open Compute Project (OCP) running OpenBMC software. At the same time, the APS Board Support Package enables the development of P4 applications using the Intel P4 Studio SDE.

Time Synchronization Solution

Precision timing is increasingly important for high performance, low latency networks and applications requiring nanosecond timing accuracy.

The APS Networks Synchronization Timing Solution has been designed to deliver the highest level of timing accuracy and provide precise time distribution over an Ethernet or IP network using our range of programmable switch products.

The 1-Step hardware solution provides profiles for standard PTP IEEE1588, Telecoms, Broadcast, OCP Datacenter and O-RAN requirements.

The combination of the Time Synchronization Solution with our programmable switch products enables Boundary and Transparent clock solutions where precision time is required which can be enhanced using the SyncE functionality if available on the network.
