Technical content

The Arista 7130 combines ultra-low latency Layer 1 switching with programmable FPGA technology. The series contains:

  • The 7130 Connect Layer 1+ network devices with port-to-port latencies as low as 4 nanoseconds.
  • The FPGA-enabled devices of the 7130E & L Series which are programmable switches that can host up to 3 FPGAs and can be leveraged to run Arista and third party network applications.
  • The 7130 network applications which feature capabilities for ultra-low latency multiplexing in as low as 39 ns (MetaMux), tapping, tap aggregation and sub-nanosecond precise timestamping (MetaWatch), layer 2 switching (SwitchApp) , filtering (MetaProtect), inline timestamping (ExchangeApp) and segmented multiplexing for multi-tenant environments (MultiAc- cess). Arista also provides development toolkits & IP Cores for users to develop their own applications. Layer 1+ switching devices Arista’s 7130 Connect Series Layer 1+ switches are powerful network devices designed for ultra-low latency of just 4 ns. Available in 16, 48 or 96 port device options, they combine a multitude of network functionality on a single device:
  • Signal regeneration
  • Media conversion
  • Port mirroring
  • Telemetry, Layer 1+ statistics on every link
  • Dynamic patching/link management All network devices are deterministic with virtually undetect- able jitter as they neither buffer or queue data, hence utilizing 100% of available bandwidth. The 7130 Connect platform is packet-aware providing comprehensive packet statistics, signal quality monitoring incl. eye diagrams, and diagnostics. Packet replication provides the ability to sniff packets without affect- ing the data path. FPGA-enabled devices Arista’s 7130E and L devices leverage the latest FPGA technol- ogy to allow companies to develop and deploy cutting-edge network applications. Available in 32, 48 or 96 SFP+ port op- tions, the FPGA switches include a host of functionality:
  • Up to 3 FPGAs on a single device
  • 5 ns layer 1 switching between network
  • 3 ns latency from front panel to FPGA
  • Various specifications for RAM, buffers, and transceivers
  • Extensive development toolkits and low-latency IP Cores All FPGA-enabled devices are optimized for Arista’s high perfor- mance network applications and can equally be leveraged to run 3rd party partner applications. FPGA application develop- ers can utilize the platform to deploy and deliver their perfor- mance critical apps. In addition to the market-leading FPGA functionality, the devices offer all of the Layer 1+ network functionality also found on the Connect series. MOS operating system MOS is based on Linux and provides a CLI and web interface as well as support for other management protocols. It provides a standard platform with the commands, tools and packages such as syslog, net-snmp, daemons, RPMs, Bash, Python, authentica- tion and security. arista.com EOS operating system & CloudVision EOS is a fully programmable, highly modular, Linux-based OS, using an industry standard CLI and running a single binary software image across the Arista switching family. Architected for resiliency and programmability, EOS has a unique multi-process state sharing architecture that separates state information and packet forwarding from protocol processing and application logic. CloudVision provides a network-wide approach for workload orchestration, workflow automation and real-time telemetry en- abling companies to manage the network with much fewer human resources.

  • Support resources to correctly build FPGA applications. The Arista Switch Development Kit for Vitis™ * Vitis is a powerful tool, designed by Xilinx, to better enable FPGA development. Vitis is designed to make it simpler to build FPGA applications using higher-level languages, reusable blocks, and a statically configured Vitis Target Platform in the FPGA. Arista provides support for Vitis development, via these Vitis Target Platforms which run on the LB development standard and support the many Ethernet interfaces provided by the 7130LB devices. The Switch’s internal CPU connects via PCIE to the FPGA, and sup- ports XRT, giving a similar development experience to that of a server with an add-in PCIE card. *Note: The Arista FPGA Development Kit and the Arista Switch Development Kit for Vitis support the MOS Operating System. Support for Arista’s EOS will be added in Q4 2020. EOS application examples will be added in Q4, 2020.
