Hardware Platform of the WASN9770 Subrack

The hardware platform of the WASN9770 is
based on that of the Huaweis core routerUniversal Switching Router (USR) of the 5th generation. The signaling plane and data plane are separately structured. In other words, the signaling plane consist of multiple CPUs of high

performance, and the data plane consists of

multiple network processors (NPs) of high performance and high forwarding capability. The key boards support the hot swappable and hot backup to ensure the reliability. NE40-8 Two -48V DC power modules supply the power in load-sharing mode.

All boards are configured in 1+1 backup mode. Two SRUs are fixed in slots 9 and 10. Other slots are used for the SPU and LPU. Generally, two LPUs are configured. Slots 1 and 2 are reserved for the LPU to facilitate cabling. Two/four/six SPUs are configured according to the requirements. The neighboring two boards are one pair and can be configured in slots 3/4, slots 5/6 and slots 7/8.

Signaling and Data Flow Diagram of the WASN9770

WASN9770
MPU
Service data flow: After receiving the UL or DL data, the LPU directly processes and forwards it if the data is common route packet. The LPU forwards the data to the SPU if the data must be processed by the SPU. After being processed by the SPU, the data is forwarded through the LPU. Signaling flow: The LPU receives the UDP signaling or DHCP signaling from the R6 interface. If the destination address is the IP address of the R6 interface on the SPU, the LPU forwards the signaling to the related SPU. After processing the signaling, the SPU forwards the corresponding signaling to the LPU through the SRU.
