The NL3280, NL3260, and NL3240 NETLite™ processors enable network awareness and provide the ability to leverage knowledge about the overall network. The NETLite processors provide efficient and rapid decision-making in the processing of packets, or the pieces of information flowing through the network.

These NETLite processors enable network service providers to offer more advanced functionality at wire-speed performance for the Internet, such as Voice over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, Virtual Private Networks, or VPNs, streaming video and audio, Internet Protocol version Six, or IPv6 and secure financial transactions.
