Network
Processor
Family
Ushering in a New Era of
Performance and Flexibility
The IQ2000™ Family of Network
Processors is the industry’s first,
control-plane-processor-independent
family of intelligent packet processing
devices.
The IQ2000 family is designed to deliver
flexible, high-performance, deep-packet
processing solutions at speeds ranging
from DS0 to OC-48.
Applications for the IQ2000 family
include complex multi-protocol routing,
classification, filtering, stateful inspection,
encryption, policing/policy enforcement,
traffic grooming/shaping, multicast/
stream management, network address
translation, and other demanding packet
processing operations.
Rapid system time-to-market can be
dramatically improved when the
IQ2000 NPU is coupled with other
Vitesse solutions including Physical
Layer processing devices,Traffic
Managers, and High Speed Switching
Fabrics.
Change is Constant...
A fundamental shift is occurring in the
network-hardware-manufacturing
mark etplace as demands f or v ery high-
speed, service-enabled products eclipse
those for more traditional layer 2/3
routing and switching offerings. The
combination of hardware acceleration
needs, direct support for IP services/
features, and demands for longer product
lif e-cycles with reduced time to market,
has given birth to the Programmable
Network Processor industry.
Hardware vendors are in desperate
need of an “adjunct” processing solution
that addresses both current and future
challenges in network evolution;
successfully meeting these challenges
through standard products is key to
maintaining a competitive edge. The
IQ2000 family enables innovation by
providing a high performance, flexible
solution that meets today’s challenges
in networking and communication
technology without the time-to-market
constraints, fixed-function limitations,
and short product life cycles associated
with ASIC technology.
Ideal Applications
High port density applications
·OC-3 to OC-48 ATM/P oS PHY
·10/100/1000 Ethernet
·Channelized OC-3 to OC-12
·DS0 - DS3 Aggregation
Standalone or Modular Systems
·Intelligent Edge De vices
·Core Switches and Routers
·P ack et/Voice Gatewa ys
·Optical Transport Systems
The Intelligent Edge of the PDN Trans-
port Core must provide both data
aggregation and extensive IP Services.
Although these two elements concep-
tually work closely together , today they
are performed in entirely different
products (aggregation and service
delivery).
Link aggregation products take data
that is transported over low speed links
(or potentially multiple low speed links)
and assemble this data into IP P ackets.
This is a job of varying degrees of
difficulty, depending on link type and
aggregation methodology emplo y ed.
Once aggregation has occurred, ser-
vices are applied on a va riety of basis
(flows within aggregated channels,
micro-flows within flows, the channel
itself, etc.). In this area, services are
defined as “value-added oper ations”
perf ormed on a packet (tagging f o r
MPLS, classification for DiffServ,
policy en f orcement, and other sophis-
ticated services).
This design concept is unique because
it provides the basis f or collapsing two
physically different components (with
different architectures, different
management facilities, and different
provisioning facilities) into a single,
highly integrated platf orm.
