| NITROX®
DPI L7 Content Processor Family |
OVERVIEW
The NITROX® DPI processor family includes the
CN18XX and CN17XX that provide the most advanced
hardware acceleration available for inline, NIC
and co-processor Layer 7 content processing. The
CN18XX supports completely processor-less mode or
can be coupled to OCTEON®, x86, MIPS, PowerPC
or other general purpose processors, enabling intelligent,
deep packet inspection in next-generation networking
and wireless applications from 2 to 40 Gbps performance.
The CN18XX processor family integrates Inline interfaces
(Up to four XAUI and up to 8 SGMII), up to two PCI
Express Gen 2 x4 or x8 I/Os along with the most
advanced deep packet inspection engines, Hyper Finite
Automata Thread Engine (HTE), to deliver the highest
performance, low latency processing of very complex
regular expression rules.
The CN17XX processor family runs in coprocessor
mode and supports PCI Express Gen 1 x4 or x8 I/Os.
For new designs we recommend using the CN18XX as
it supports a superset of CN17XX features.
NITROX DPI processors are targeted for a wide range
of applications including application recognition,
protocol analysis, flow statistics, application
level firewalls, intrusion prevention (IPS), gateway
anti-virus, unified threat management and content-based
QoS in routers, switches, appliances and services
blades. TARGET APPLICATIONS
