Layers 2-4 Knowledge-based Processors
NetLogic Microsystems' knowledge-based processors enable high-performance decision-making for packet processing in a variety of advanced devices in the enterprise, metro, access, edge and core networking markets. This family features an advanced superscalar design architecture for high-speed performance providing the ability to process packets at wire-speed and lowest power consumption.
This product family is capable of processing speeds up to 1.5 billion decisions per second, and incorporate a flexible knowledge database size of up to 1024k records for advanced processing capability. The knowledge-based processors family is designed to be cascadable, allowing multiple processors to be concatenated to support millions of records. This feature is critical for the processing of packets under the new IPv6 standard.
