High-performance Solutions at 10Gbps and Beyond
The Netronome NFP family of network flow processors is the third-generation design of the industry's most popular network processing architecture. The NFP is built for high-performance network infrastructure designs that require high bandwidth, programmable data planes that span L2-L7 applications for carrier-grade and enterprise-class networking products, as well as virtualized networked servers and appliances. The NFP also extends the Intel® IXP28XX line of products, providing software source-code compatibility to protect existing software investments, while reducing system cost and enhancing available performance. Customers can easily migrate existing designs to this new generation of silicon and take advantage of improvements in performance, power consumption and price.
NFP-32XX
The NFP's multi-core architecture combines 40 independent multi-threaded microengines optimized for packet processing and a high-performance ARM11 core, plus L2 cache to offer up to 60 Giga-operations per second. The programmable microengines provide the processing power and flexibility to handle new and variants of existing protocols. Integrated security and content processing functions deliver high-performance packet and content processing with robust security features in a single chip. The NFP's parallel processing architecture delivers complex Layer 2-7 algorithms, deep packet inspection and filtering, traffic management and forwarding at wire speed.
