EZChip Releases IPv6 Code for its 10 Gbps Net Processor

EZChip Technologies released IPv6 routing sample code for its NP-1c 10-Gigabit network processor. The NP-1c integrates processing and classifying - the two main functions of network processing - on to a single chip. The IPv6 sample code runs at 10 Gbps. EZChip said that because IPv6 effectively quadruples the size of a router's lookup tables, it also quadruples the advantages enabled through its embedded classification architecture. Several equipment suppliers in Asia have selected EZChip's NP-1 for its IPv6 capabilities and are already running IPv6 on the chip.
