NSE forms a key part of MSC platform
Integrated Device Technology has announced that its 75K62134 network search engine (NSE) with look-aside interface (LA-I) is a key part in the Multi-Service Connect (MSC) platform from Avici Systems.
Hammer time for network search engines
Harbour Networks is using IDT's 75K62134 and 75K72234 NSEs to deliver leading-edge features and services in its Power Hammer and Net Hammer Series routers and Big Hammer Series switches.
Delivering performance up to 100 million searches per second, the IDT NSE offloads the computing-intensive classification task from the NPU, accelerating packet processing and enabling Fujitsu's IPCOM S2200 to perform a breadth of value-added services.
The Fujitsu IPCOM S2200 is a highly integrated networking product that incorporates security functions such as firewall and secure socket layer (SSL), and the prioritisation and provisioning of bandwidth via QoS and load balancing within a single box.
Several innovative features of the IDT NSE enable high-performance table look-ups while using the LA-1 interface to transact search operations.

Glueless interface is key to NSE integration
NEC Corporation is using IDT's 75K62134 NSE to enable advanced features and accelerate packet processing in its VPN gateway.
The IDT multiple-database lookup (MDL) feature allows the user to issue a search in up to eight databases that represent tables for different applications.
Users can then issue a single MDL operation and search within multiple databases in a sequential pipeline using variations of the same key, resulting in reduced implementation complexity and latency reduction of up to 80% or more, as well as improved NSE search performance capabilities.
"We chose the IDT NSE for our IPCOM S2200 network server, as it offered innovative features such as the MDL command that enabled us to optimise bandwidth throughput across the LA-1 interface of the NSE".
"IDT also provided a system-level architecture model (SLAM) that gave us extensive modelling capabilities and offered great technical support on our high-end modelling requirements", said Masao Gouhara, Director, IP Network Division, Fujitsu.
"We are proud to have incorporated the industry's first glueless LA-1 NSE solution in our highly integrated networking box and look forward to our continued relationship with IDT".
"Fujitsu Limited is recognised as a leading provider of communications solutions for the global marketplace and an innovator in providing highly reliable network environments that connect the network and systems within the IT infrastructure", said Wataru Kamiyama, President Nippon IDT.
"IDT is committed to this partnership and is excited to be included in their ambitious IPCOM S2200 product that integrates so many value-added functions at the enterprise edge".
