Advantages of the VRP8 Architecture

The VRP8 architecture has the following advantages:

• High extensibility

  • The VRP8 has a layered architecture with clear inter-layer dependency and interfaces and independent intra-layer components.
  • The base framework uses the model-driven architecture technology, with stable processing mechanisms and flexible separated service models, to rapidly respond to customers' requirements for software features.
  • Based on the standard driver framework, hardware drivers support plug-and-play, implementing backward compatibility of interface boards.

  Benefits: flexible service operation, timely response to customers' requirements, and smooth hardware upgrades

• High reliability

  • Process-based fault isolation is implemented.
  • Process-based NSx helps implement seamless convergence on the forwarding plane, control plane, and service plane.

  Benefits: non-stop service operation with high reliability and reduced operation and maintenance expenditures

• High performance

  • Services are distributed in fine granularity and processed at the same time, achieving industry-leading performance and specification indicators.
  • Performance and specifications are expandable and can be improved along with hardware upgrades.
  • Priority-based real-time scheduling guarantees that services are rapidly processed.

  Benefits: larger-scaled service deployment and faster fault convergence, full use of hardware capabilities, and continuous improvement in performance and specifications

• Carrier-class management and maintenance

  • The carrier-class configuration and management plane facilitates service deployment and maintenance.
  • The VRP8 provides better fault management mechanisms.
  • The VRP8 provides plug-and-play network device management.

  Benefits: more effective service deployment capabilities, faster service monitoring and fault locating, and lower operation and maintenance expenditures
