IDT Delivers Search Engine with Seamless Interface to Network Processors

IDT (Integrated Device Technology) began sampling the first Network Search Engine with an integrated Network Processor Forum (NPF) Look-Aside Interface (LA-1). The new IDT device enables a seamless connection to the network processor unit (NPU), allowing significant conservation of board space and enabling designers to begin development without FPGA or ASIC glue logic. The new device accelerates packet processing in products such as core, edge, metro and access routers and offloads the network processor to assist wire-speed implementation of access control lists (ACL), longest prefix match (LPM) and QoS.
