Network Element Virtualization (NEV) With FPGA

To enable Network Element Virtualization (NEV) for telefommunications Algoblu Co. L.t.d. from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, has worked with Missing Link Electronics (MLE) to design and test FPGA-based turnkey solutions.
With NEV technology, carriers can virtualize the underlying network and can fine-tune the management of network resources to provide multi-tiered services with end-to-end service quality assurance. At Provider Equipment (PE) level, NEV has been implemented as an FPGA-based PCIe card to accelerate Algoblu software running on server CPUs. For the corresponding Customer Premise Equipment (CE) a turnkey solution was designed based on an off-the-shelf FPGA System-on-Module. For more information on the NEV technology, please read the Network Element Virtualization (NEV) Whitepaper here.
