EZchip Technologies announced availability of its QX-1 10-Gigabit traffic manager, which can be matched to the company’s recently launched NP-1 10-Gigabit network processor. EZchip’s QX-1 is a single-chip traffic manager device providing advanced queuing, scalable frame memory, congestion management and hierarchical scheduling of network traffic consisting of thousands and millions of flows. It can be used to deliver QoS in 10-Gigabit interfaces, multi 1-Gigabit Ethernet line-cards with twelve or more ports, as well as OC-192, 4 x OC-48 and 16 x OC-12 Packet over SONET (POS) applications. The QX-1 traffic manager and NP-1 network processor are targeted at core networking equipment with stringent requirements for QoS, reduced overall system cost, power dissipation and chip-count. EZchip is offering the QX-1 traffic manager to its customers as an ASIC or as a core for an FPGA.
