The IQ2200TM Family of Network Processors
extends the successful Vitesse IQ2000
network processor family, doubling packet
processing performance and improving
switch fabric connectivity while maintaining
firmware and pinout compatibility for
rapid application. The IQ2200 family is designed to deliver
flexible, high-performance, deep-packet processing solutions
at speeds ranging from DS0 to OC-48.
Applications for the IQ2200 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 IQ2200 NPU is coupled with other Vitesse solutions
including Physical Layer processing devices, Traffic
Managers, and High Speed Switching Fabrics.

IQ2200 Family of Network Processors
successfully meeting these challenges through standard
products is key to maintaining a competitive edge. The
IQ2000 and IQ2200 families enable 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.

A fundamental shift is occurring in the network-hardware-
manufacturing marketplace as demands for very 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 life-cycles
with reduced time to market, has given birth to the
Programmable Network Processor industry. Hardware vendors
are in need of an "adjunct" processing solution that addresses
both current and future challenges in network evolution;

The Intelligent Edge of the PDN Transport
Core must provide both data aggregation
and extensive IP Services. Although
these two elements conceptually 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 Packets. This is a job of varying
degrees of difficulty, depending on link type and aggregation
methodology employed.
Once aggregation has occurred, services are applied on a
variety of basis (flows within aggregated channels, micro-
flows within flows, the channel itself, etc.). In this area,
services are defined as "value-added operations" performed
on a packet (tagging for MPLS, classification for DiffServ,
policy enforcement, and other sophisticated services).
This design concept is unique because it provides the
basis for collapsing two physically different components
(with different architectures, different management
facilities, and different provisioning facilities) into a single,
highly integrated platform.
