IDT ships its PAX.ware 2500 classification eval system.IDT IDT Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA, USA) IDT I Don't Think IDT Identity Theft IDT Interrupt Descriptor Table IDT Integrated DNA Technologies IDT Inactive Duty Training IDT Instructional Design & Technology , a communications IC company and provider of network search engines and classification processors, has announced that it is now shipping the PAX.ware 2500 classification evaluation system for the PAX.port 2500 classification and content inspection processor, through its wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock. Notes: In other words, the parent company owns the company outright and there are no minority owners. , IDT Canada, Inc., formerly Solidum Systems. The PAX.ware 2500 allows next-generation system designers to evaluate full, wire-speed classification processing in network processing architectures featuring the PAX.port 2500 classification processor. "The PAX.ware 2500 is designed to enable evaluation and testing of OC-48 classification and content inspection in content switches, content security devices, multi-service switches, edge routers and Enterprise networking equipment," said Joe Aragona, marketing manager for IDT's IP co-processor division. "The platform allows system designers to obtain a complete understanding of the capabilities of the PAX.port 2500 processor, thereby reducing their time to market with new equipment designs." The PAX.port 2500 is an application specific standard product (ASSP (Application Specific Standard Part) An ASIC chip that is designed as a generic device for a particular market. Whereas an ASIC is typically used only by its creator, ASSPs are used by many different companies in the design of their products. See ASIC. ) classification processor that can be used in a streaming architecture to achieve multi-Gigabit packet processing and classification. It performs Layer 2-4 classification and is optimized for full Layer-7 content inspection and regular expression matching at OC-48 line rates in web switches, load balancers, multi-service switches, IP services gateways, cable modem termination systems (CMTS (Cable Modem Termination System) A computerized device that enables cable modems to send and receive packets over the Internet. It inserts IP packets from the Internet into MPEG frames and transmits them to the cable modems via an RF signal. ), edge routers, protocol analyzers, and fixed broadband wireless access stations. Classification processing on the PAX.port 2500 can be programmed using the PAX.works software development kit (SDK (Software Developer's Kit) See developer's toolkit and Windows SDK. SDK - Software Developers Kit (or "Software Development Kit"). ) that provides complete programming and execution environments including examples and templates for current networking protocols and encapsulations. This comprehensive software kit makes it possible for equipment designers to prototype, test, and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. complex classification to fit specific applications and provides the ultimate programming flexibility for classification processing and is based on an open, fourth generation pattern description language. The PAX.ware 2500 is the first in a series of evaluation systems that will be released based on the PAX.port 2500. Future systems will be designed to work seamlessly with leading network processors, including the new Intel IXP (1) (Internet EXchange Processor) See IXA. (2) (Internet eXchange Point) A public junction point on the Internet that provides an on-ramp to the Internet as well as a location for carriers to exchange traffic. 2400 and IXP2800 network processors. |
