MACsec Engine 800G Multi-Channel

Overview

As part of Rambus' award-winning silicon Intellectual Property (IP) product portfolio, the MACsec-164 is a high-performance MACsec frame processing engine that provides complete MACsec SecY frame transformation for multiple channels and virtual ports. The MACsec-164 works with the MACsec-163 virtual port matching classifier for a complete MACsec processing solution.
