Network search engines accelerate
gigabit routers
Furukawa Electric has selected IDT's 256Kx36 and 128Kx36 NSEs to accelerate packet processing and enable intelligent application management in its next-generation Fitelnet G-Series gigabit routers.
Furukawa Electric Co has selected IDT's 256Kx36 (128Kx72) and 128Kx36 (64Kx72) NSEs to accelerate packet processing and enable intelligent application management in its next-generation Fitelnet G-Series gigabit routers The IDT NSEs enable full-wire speed Layer 2-4 packet processing, and also allow Furukawa's G-Series gigabit routers to provide comprehensive quality of service (QoS) and class of service (CoS) functions such as policed priority queuing and dynamic multicast QoS routing functions

IP coprocessors provide flexible search width
IDT has released its first commercially available Internet protocol coprocessor product portfolio that enables up to OC-768 wire speed to support ever-increasing packet processing requirements.
In addition, the NSEs include segmentation capabilities to minimise power consumption, making them ideal for use in a wide range of Enterprise and carrier-class network equipment.
"Our confidence in the IDT NSEs was underscored by a cost-performance point coupled with strong local support that helped us shorten our design cycle and meet our very competitive time-to-market goals", said Masanori Horiguchi, Chief Engineer, Network Equipment Division, Furukawa Electric.
"The biggest merit of the IDT NSE was its segmentation capability that allows us minimise the power consumption of our gigabit routers.
The 576bit search key bandwidth was also important for us to enable the flexible packet processing for our gigabit router that supports IPv6.
Finally, IDT was able to illustrate a clear roadmap to even higher performance and higher density devices, allowing us to plan for our next-generation gigabit routers".
"As the market share and technology leader in NSEs, we continuously work with customers to help address the performance and time-to-market problems they face.
We have seen widespread adoption of our network search engines fuelled by the performance and service-enhancing features of the architecture", said Dave Cech, Director of Marketing for the IDT network search engines.
"Furukawa's Fitelnet G-Series gigabit routers are a great illustration of the level of integration and capabilities the IDT NSEs can deliver for a wide range of wireless, enterprise and carrier-class networks".
