Base Network Interface Units with Encryption and Quality of Service
Monitoring and Reporting Options
To meet the demands of scalable, high-quality, real-time communications (RTC), Acme
Packet 4500 NIUs offer onboard hardware designed to offload the CPU from processor-
intensive functions, such as security and quality of service (QoS) monitoring and
reporting.
Acme Packet 4500 NIUs with SFP interfaces can accommodate onboard processors for
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) and Secure Real-Time Transport Protocol (SRTP)
encryption, QoS monitoring and reporting, or both. The encryption acceleration
hardware enables secure communications without compromising end user or subscriber
quality of experience (QoE).
QoS monitoring and reporting hardware monitors and measures each media flow
through the system, calculating quality scores (such as Mean Opinion Score) and
aggregating the information into data for transmission to external reporting or accounting
systems. Onboard QoS monitoring and measurement is also utilized for real-time
functions such as QoS-based routing and load balancing. This also does not
compromise end user or subscriber QoE.
Advanced Network Interface Units
Acme Packet 4500 advanced NIUs help Acme Packet 4500 deliver a combination of
performance, capacity, and functionality unmatched by other platforms in its class.
With a distributed, multiprocessor approach that leverages the latest digital signal
processor (DSP) and multicore processors, Acme Packet 4500 is capable of performing
many high-end functions at capacity levels suitable for most enterprises and smaller
service providers.
Transcoding Network Interface Unit
The Acme Packet 4500 transcoding NIU delivers a powerful midrange hardware-based
transcoding solution that supports up to 7,200 transcoded sessions. The transcoding
NIU also features QoS monitoring and reporting hardware for both transcoded and
nontranscoded sessions.
The Acme Packet 4500 transcoding NIU may be populated with up to 12 transcoding
modules, each supporting up to 600 transcoded sessions, for pay-as-you-grow
scalability.
Enhanced Traffic Control Network Interface Unit
The Acme Packet 4500 enhanced traffic control (ETC-2) NIU offers a unique and highly
advanced design, with enhanced capabilities that address a wide range of next-
generation services and applications.
The ETC-2 NIU combines four 1 Gb/sec Ethernet ports with high-performance
symmetric multiprocessing that integrates multiple hardware-accelerated functions,
