Platform Enhancements
This release adds the following MGX platform enhancements.
• DB Server/Client enhancement
The server automatically copies database tables to the new directory for a release.
• Software FPGA upgrade on PXM45/C
Cisco uses this feature to upgrade hardware (Field Programmable Gate Array) FPGA images
without introducing new hardware versions. This simplifies the process of adding or changing
features and can reduce hardware costs for both Cisco and customers.
• PXM to MPSM QoS enhancement
Currently, traffic sent to the MPSM-T3E3-155 and MPSM-16-T1/E1 cards is managed by the class
of service only. For example, the CBR traffic class is always given priority over the VBR.RT traffic
class, even if VBR.RT connections are committed and data received is within the SCR limit.
Through this QoS enhancement, the PXM QE1210 is programmed using information from the
MPSM so it can manage traffic dynamically based on the committed rate of the connections and
interface policy.
