The Protocol-IP-93 Multi-Protocol Engine is a protocol-aware packet engine for accelerating IPSec, SSL/TLS, and SRTP up to 1 Gbps in SoCs. Designed for fast integration, low gate count and full packet transforms, it provides a reliable and cost-effective embedded IP solution that is easy to integrate into SoC designs. It is ideal for securing cloud connection with TLS and acceleration of other application that require cryptographic operations, such as secure boot.
- How the Protocol-IP-93 Multi-Protocol Engine works
The Multi-Protocol Engine is a protocol-aware packet engine IP with a Look-Aside bus interface and a packet transform engine. The Multi-Protocol engine is used as a bus master in the data plane of the system and processes packets with very little CPU intervention. This engine supports an AMBA (AXI, AHB, TCM) or a PLB SoC bus interface and can be delivered in different configurations to support IPsec as well as SSL and TLS up to the latest 1.3 release. It is the world’s only 100K gate IPsec/TLS accelerator (excluding interface).
The Multi-Protocol Engine is designed to off-load the host processor to improve the speed of protocol operations and reduce power in cost-sensitive networking products, such as: high-end IoT devices; IoT gateways; femtocells; DSL routers; SOHO routers; cable modems; VPN appliances; and surveillance cameras.
Performance for large packet sizes is > 1 Gbps for any supported protocol. IPsec performance for small packet sizes is > 500 Mbps, at a system clock speed of 500 MHz.
