About Intelligent Protocol Processing Intelligent Protocol Processing (IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) A protocol for printing and managing print jobs over the Internet using HTTP. Initially conceived by Novell, Xerox and others, the IETF made it a standard in 2000 that includes authentication and encryption. See printing protocol and LPD. ) technology from Astute Networks combines a parallel processor architecture with embedded hardware engines for handling stateful protocols like TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. and Fibre Channel. IPP products program like a general-purpose CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. , yet deliver the performance and cost efficiency of a dedicated ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. . The ease of IPP programmability reduces the risk and cost of new product development. At the same time, IPP's ASIC-like efficiency allows OEMs to cost effectively increase and scale the protocol processing of I/O ports. These attributes enable IPP to lower the end user's cost of ownership by reducing product costs, simplifying operator tasks and facilitating co-existence with legacy systems. Astute Networks estimates the total available market for IPP solutions to exceed $1.4B by 2007, with a current annual growth rate over 50%. About Astute Networks Astute Networks designs and markets intelligent silicon-based protocol acceleration technologies to OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and partners worldwide. Astute Networks enables customers in the server, storage array, switch and gateway and content/security appliance markets to deliver competitive advantages and cost-effective IT solutions.
