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.
Momentum is growing for a transition to IPv6 in China driven by millions of new users and devices requiring IP addresses, as well as by demand for new services and increased security that are stretching the limits of the IPv4 standard.
The BitEngine12416 is the first core router in China to support both IPv4 and IPv6.
Tsinghua Bitway's BitEngine 12416 core router is currently in service as part of the CNGI (China Next Generation IP) network, which includes network infrastructure being implemented by China Telecom, China Mobile and CNC, as well as Cernet2, which connects Chinese universities in 20 cities.
The IDT 75K62100 NSE provided Tsinghua Bitway with a number of performance and design benefits.
By delivering a pin-compatible family from 2 to 18Mbit densities, IDT allowed Tsinghua Bitway to use one design that supports multiple NSE configurations, which helped reduce costs and time to market.
The device also supports dynamic database management, providing the ability to select specific application databases to be searched while helping to reduce power consumption by up to 70%.
In addition, the device's x36-x576 search capabilities support both IPv4 and IPv6 forwarding and policy lookups.
IDT also provided Tsinghua Bitway with a full-featured software development kit that included initialisation, management and search-control software.
Thanks to this development kit, Tsinghua Bitway experienced lower development costs, faster time to market and improved system performance.
In addition to the 75K62100 NSE, the BitEngine12416 core router also uses an IDT FIFO and an IDT zero bus turnaround (ZBT) SRAM device.
The flexible LVTTL interface for ASIC/FPGA-based designs allowed Tsinghua Bitway to easily enable a complete router system configuration.
