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.
Targeting core, metro and edge routers, the new device enables higher-performance systems to achieve increased packet processing rates and facilitates additional services, through simultaneous database lookup (SMDL) and sophisticated next free address (NFA) capabilities.
As part of its commitment to provide comprehensive system solutions, IDT also offers a design accelerator kit (DAK) that speeds hardware and software development for advanced networking packet processing subsystems.
The additional density provided by the IDT 75K72100 NSE allows for increased port support per line card and virtual route table needs in equipment providing OC-192 performance.
The device's unique set of application support features, such as dynamic database management and SMDL, allow efficient multiple packet searches.
For example, a metro Ethernet application can now simultaneously launch virtual private networking (VPN) ID lookups as well as antispoofing virtual local area network (VLAN) validation lookups.
Parallel lookups of this type can also be applied to other commonly used routing functions such as forwarding, access control lists (ACL) and flow caching, and allow for reduced latency in execution pipelines.
In conjunction with this new device, IDT is providing a comprehensive software and hardware development tools.
The IDT software development kit (SDK) includes initialisation, management and search (IMS) libraries to provide a standard API and accelerate software design, as well as schematics for board layout and connectivity.
The IDT hardware development kit (HDK) includes a Verilog model and schematic acceleration symbols, as well as Verilog and VHDL interface code for easy portability to popular FPGA/CPLD solutions.
Together, these tools speed designers' time to market, increase system performance and lower overall development costs.
