COPENHAGEN -- TPACK (www.TPACK.com) today introduced the TPX4004 Carrier Packet Engine targeting packet transport applications such as MSPPs, MetroWDM, P-OTN and Carrier Ethernet Transport.

With up to 80 Gbps of switching capacity, a hierarchical traffic manager and extensive hardware-based OAM, the TPX4004 is ideal for any packet transport application. It is the only product available that fully supports universal linecard designs and the first 40nm-based Carrier Ethernet switching device on the market.

The TPX4004 is the first product to fully support the new MPLS-TP standard evolving from ITU-T/IETF as well as hardware-based OAM and protection schemes enabling true carrier class packet transport.

“TPACK’s model of supplying competitive, standard SOFTSILICON products such as the TPX4004 based on FPGAs is a good fit for the optical transport market segment,“ said Bob Wheeler, senior analyst at The Linley Group.
