By offloading the classification and forwarding lookups from Xelerated’s Ethernet optimized X11 network processor, the IDT search accelerators enable richer services support at an aggregated 20 Gbps line rate.
Xelerated and IDT have been working together since 2001, starting with the X10q network processor. The X11 and future network processor devices support the IDT new generation of super-fast network search engines and accelerators. Network processors from Xelerated also take direct advantage of the 80-bit search interface from IDT when processing advanced classifications, and utilize the IDT enhanced data integrity features such as error correction code.
Beyond its flexibility to support IPv6 and simplify board design, the IDT search accelerators also lower overall system cost, deliver improved reliability as well as system availability, and provide the necessary scalability to meet future performance requirements.
