Overview

The Huawei NetEngine5000E router (NE5000E) is a high-end IP core network router. It is targeted for Internet backbone networks, IP dedicated backbone networks, or IP metropolitan core networks covering large cities and regions. It can also function as an egress router on the Internet data center (IDC). It is intended for network operators, enterprises, and public institutions.
As the network traffic volume increases, the board of core nodes cannot meet customer demands for higher throughput of network elements. Therefore, Huawei has developed 48-Port 10GBase LAN/WAN-SFP+ Line Processing Unit (LPUI-480). The LPUI-480 is designed to improve the slot bandwidth, and meets the bandwidth requirements of operators and intranets, and helps customers conduct cost-effective and personalized capacity expansion. Figure 1-1 shows the appearance of the 48-Port 10GBase LAN/WAN-SFP+ Integrated Line Process Unit (LPUI-480).

 

 

 

 

 

Features

 

Innovative ISHE Technology

 

 NE5000E adopts the innovative In-service Hardware Expansion (ISHE) technology. ISHE ensures cluster to be expanded smoothly. It is the known most flexible core router in industry, which meets the requirement of continuous expansion. High-speed Optical Flexible Card (OFC) of cluster can be configured on demand and the switch mode of fabric chipset can be configured flexibly. All these innovative core features are integral part of In-service Hardware Expansion (ISHE) technology, which not only improves the availability of network, but also protects original investment of the customers for decades to come.

 

Unique Back-to-Back Cluster

 

 Huawei released industry 1st NE5000E back-to-back cluster in 2006, and less site room space and power consumption, reducing 45% TCO for customers. The back-to-back cluster with 400G LPUs supports 25.6Gbps of system capacity, and meets the requirement of carriers’ business development in 3-5 years. NE5000E back-to-back cluster smoothly upgrades to multi-chassis system and is the most cost-effective cluster solution.

 

Continuous R&D Innovation

 

Huawei continuously devotes high-end router R&D, and helps customers build more efficient network. Huawei firstly launched NE5000E 2+8 cluster with 40G LPUs in 2008, and led the 10T era of Internet. The end-to-end 100G solution combining 100GE+100G WDM was released by Huawei next year. Huawei released the 200G LPU in 2011, and won the InfoVision award. The high density 480G fixed LPU and 400G flexible LPU both were released in 2012. The LPUF-400 supports flexible sub-card deployed on demand. The latest release is the 100T 2+8 cluster based on 400G LPUs and new 1Tbps LPU in 2013. Huawei leads the development of router cluster continually.

 

Carrier-Class Reliability

 

NE5000E provides multi-level protections for reliability guarantee. For device-level protection, NE5000E has a passive backplane, with all the key parts of the device hot-swappable, hot-pluggable and hot-backup. NE5000E supports non-stop routing (NSR) for control and data plane. NE5000E provides hot-patching and comprehensive In-Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) technology for smooth upgrade of the software. For network-level protection, NE5000E supports comprehensive high-availability mechanisms, such as IGP fast convergence, IP/LDP/TE FRR, BGP/ISIS Auto FRR, BGP/ISIS/OSPF/LDP/PIM GR, VRRP, BFD and Trunk, which will effectively ensure the network operation with high reliability. As a result, NE5000E system exceeds 99.999% carrier-class reliability.

 

Green Cluster

 

 NE5000E is designed with green concepts from the beginning. NE5000E core chipset, with 32nm technology, reduces power consumption of 30%. The adoption of the leading air heat dissipation system in CCC greatly improves the dissipation efficiency, and reduces 50% power dissipation. NE5000E support linked Optical Flexible Card (OFC), which can be configured flexibly as required. The compact design of the chassis reduces the size and weight of the device. NE5000E cluster system is truly “All-Green” in design, deployment and operation.
