An ideal Network Processor, that is, a programmable multi-processor device must be
capable of offering both the flexibility and speed required for packet processing. But current …

Hoy en día, los nodos de red que forman Internet son complejos sistemas
hardware/software que soportan un gran número de protocolos, servicios de red, o …

The increasing variety of networks and end systems, especially wireless devices, pose new
challenges in communication support for, particularly, multicast‐based collaborative …

Multi-processors in modern network processors (NPs) are often organized as parallel
processing elements (PEs) to achieve efficient packet forwarding for 10 Gbps high-speed …

Previous studies have shown that buffering packets in DRAM is a performance bottleneck. In
order to understand the impediments in accessing the DRAM, we developed a detailed Petri …

Measurement and monitoring functionality is widely deployed in the present Internet
infrastructure to gather insight into the operation of the network. It is important to obtain a …

In today's capital constrained environment, routers now must support continually evolving
requirements on aggregating a range of network protocols and traffic types. To meet such …

Network Processor Units (NPUs) are a compromise between software-based and hardwired
