Control Plane
vPlane (vRouter User Space Data Plane)
Single VM or Bare Metal Package
 Data Model
o Common Data Model
o Parity across CLI and APIs
o Hybrid DevOps capable with Linux tools and
Scripting API

“By raising the performance threshold to
80 Gb, you are really covering most of
the applications that are associated with
data center access and edge routing.”
-- Tom Nolle, CIMI Corp
“Telefónica was clearly pleased enough
with the test results to announce them
publicly -- an unusual move these days.”

30. What makes vCPE biz case work
Resource efficiency
 On premise vCPE - important to consume smallest
amount of HW resources
o Leave room for more value added service VNFs or higher
throughput
o Allow use case work with lowest cost HW
 Cloud vCPE – VNF density is of utmost importance
o to leave room for more applications or higher throughput
Brocade demo at MWC 2015 - 40 vRouters per server
Mix of 200 Mbps to 1 Gbps vRouters; tested up to max post capacity – 40Gbps.

Same solution scales from low to high
• Based on Vyatta Network Operating
System –
–Same software can be leveraged across
Cloud, Small, Medium, and Large vCPE
–Highest and most efficient performance allows
more to be done with less resources
• Hardware vendor agnostic but hardware
