10-Gbit Ethernet MAC

INT-10000 is highly flexible that is customizable for layer-2 through Layer-4 network security and network infrastructure and other Data Networking applications. It is recommended for use in, among others, high performance Network security appliances and Network infrastructure appliances. It provides the key IP building block that is designed for easy integration with customer IPs or other standard blocks for mid performance and high performance Giga bit ASICs/SOCs/ASSPs/FPGA-SoCs.

INT-10000 provides capability for enterprises to differentiate their Network security and Network infrastructure appliances from others by implementing differentiated features and Performance parameters.

INT-10000 can process 14M packets for in-line in both directions, simultaneously, at full 10-G-bit rate. The Direct write to Memory interface relieves the host CPU from costly DMA/buffer management execution and maintenance tasks.

• Ideal for high performance specialized, differentiable ASICs or FPGAs for Network security or Network infrastructure applications for sustained 10G, full-duplex (20G) at 100% utilization rate processing.
• Less than 40,000 ASIC gates + on-chip memory
• Fully integrated internal RAM block, synthesizable/selectable to 16KB-256KB. Customizable
• 4/8 intelligent DMA engines. Customizable.
• Direct Memory write and read control block, improves packet receive/transmit performance by 500-1000%, by eliminating software driver to have to manage each frame and manage buffer pointers.
• Optional, On-chip DDR or SSRAM memory controller which can address 4K Bytes to 4 MB Bytes on chip or 256 MB off chip memories. Customizable.
• Many trade-offs for some functions performed in hardware or software
• Configurable Packet Buffer size up to 256 KB for RX and TX.
• Automatic overflow into External Fast SSRAM. (optional)
• Jumbo frame support
• Same architecture scalable to 40Gbps.

• Scalable Rx and Tx FIFOs provide customers to be able to target at a perticular network type i.e. high utlization, backbone infrastructure, NIC application, Switch application etc.
