"Telco gateway functions such as Broadband Network Gateway (BNG) and
the Access Gateway Function (AGF), which require extra-large buffers
for advanced hierarchical traffic shaping, scheduling, and policing
for fixed network and 5G residential gateways" -

What does extra large mean?

Or ultra-low-delay?

[Bloat] intel BNG kit

[Dave Taht]

Anyone know anyone at intel that can talk coherently to the new BNG kit?

" Scalable per 100 GbE instances
• Each 100 GbE instance supports 32,000 queues
• 3–7 scheduling layers, with a default configuration of 5 layers
• 8 GB or 16 GB of HBM2 memory for traffic buffering, depending on the
specific Intel® FPGA
• QDR-IV, eSRAM memory for queue management tables
• Congestion control
• Fine shaping granularity, supporting a combination of low-bandwidth
services (e.g., voice)
and high-bandwidth broadband service" -
