BCM52311
Knowledge-Based Processor
Data Sheet
General Description
Features
The BCM52311 Knowledge-Based Processor (KBP) performs high-speed operations on large-rule databases for a wide range of telecommunications applications, including WAN, MAN, and Enterprise switches and routers. It provides network awareness and enables real-time modifications and updates to the routing configuration, making it ideal for packet classification, policy enforcement, and forwarding.
This family of KBPs addresses next-generation classification requirements through high-performance parallel decisions and improved-entry storage capabilities. Up to eight parallel operations allow the device to reach decision speeds of multiple billion decisions per second (BDPS).
