Network processors to support multiple 100 Gigabit flows

EZchip Semiconductor has disclosed the first 200 Gigabit-per-second network processor chip. The NP-5 will double the packet processing performance of the company’s existing NP-4 network processor and will sample at the end of 2012.  

 

“We don’t know of any device, announced at least, that comes close to this”

Amir Eyal, EZchip

 

 

The NP-5 is noteworthy in integrating within a single chip a full-duplex 100 Gigabit-per-second (Gbps) packet processor and traffic manager. Such integration is important as line cards move from 100Gbps to 400Gbps densities, says Bob Wheeler, senior analyst at The Linley Group.
