First appearance! MilkV reveals the world’s first open source 10G RISC-V network switch

The 2023 RISC-V China Summit will be held at the Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing on August 19 for three days, lasting from August 23 to 25. This summit has attracted much attention, and everyone from all walks of life is looking forward to the important announcements at the meeting. MilkV announced today that it will showcase its latest research and development results at the summit - the world's first open source 10G RISC-V network switch, named Milk-V Vega

##Milk- V Vega is an innovative product developed by Milk-V specifically for the new generation network architecture. It has the characteristics of compact size and high-density box type, providing users with a unified platform to carry multiple services, including broadband, voice, video, surveillance, etc. According to reports, the switch is equipped with a domestic RISC-V network switching chip, which not only greatly simplifies the network architecture of enterprises and users, but also effectively reduces energy consumption costs and operation and maintenance costs. Milk-V Vega is suitable for various scenarios, including data centers, enterprise networks, campuses, scientific research and teaching, etc.

Milk-V Vega supports a wide range of network protocol processing functions, including L2 bridging, L2 multicast, storm suppression, etc. In addition, it also has VLAN functions based on flows, ports, protocols, and subnets, and supports features such as STP, RSTP, and QinQ. In order to ensure network security, the switch also integrates functions such as anti-DOS attacks, black and white lists, and protocol packet filtering. At the same time, it also supports functions such as filters, link aggregation, OAM message sending, and port protection, providing comprehensive protection for the network.

According to the editor’s understanding, Milk-V As the world's first RISC-V open source 10G switch, Vega provides developers with a wealth of features. Based on the open source Linux system, secondary development and DIY become more convenient. In addition, the switch opens up openSBI, u-boot and Linux kernel source code, providing cross-compilation tool chain. It also provides JTAG interface, RS232 and I2C interface for underlying development to facilitate the connection of other external sensors.

In addition, Milk-V Vega also supports 1U standard cabinets, and each cabinet can install 2 switches to meet the needs of different scales. The switch is also equipped with dual 10 Gigabit optical ports, 4 Gigabit optical ports and 8 Gigabit electrical ports, which can meet various needs such as home laboratories. Remote configuration supports WEB and SSH access, and provides command line service configuration, which can realize VLAN configuration, port mirroring, MAC address learning, flow control and other functions. The provision of interface SDK and API provides greater flexibility for customized business configuration

RISC-V China Summit will become an important platform to showcase innovative technologies, and the appearance of Milk-V Vega will also provide an important platform for network architecture. The field brings new opportunities and challenges. Attendees look forward to experiencing the functionality and performance of this innovative switch first-hand at the summit
