Network Processors and CompactPCI
JEFF MUNCH 2003/04/18
One of the more specialized processors in today's marketplace is the network processor. This processor is intended to manipulate packet based data at line rate speeds. Over the last few years, silicon vendors have been actively touting network processors over ASICs in WAN edge/access aggregation, wireless infrastructure and Layer 4-7 switch applications. This article will take a look at some of the PCI Industrial Computer Manufacturers Group (PICMG?) standards that are typically used with network processors. An application that converts ATM to IP will be used as an example.
