IDT Network Search Engines Accelerate Packet Processing at Tsinghua Bitway for China's First IPv6 Network Core Router

IDT has announced that Tsinghua Bitway Networking Technology Co., Ltd has selected the IDT 75K62100 network search engine (NSE) to power the BitEngine 12416 core router.

Tsinghua Bitway Selects IDT NSE for Performance, Scalability and Software Support

The IDT NSE device helps Tsinghua Bitway’s core router achieve 320 billion bits per second transfer rates, enabling high performance communications for many emerging IPv6-compliant applications. Momentum is growing for a transition to IPv6 in China driven by millions of new users and devices requiring IP addresses, as well as by demand for new services and increased security that are stretching the limits of the IPv4 standard.

The BitEngine12416 is the first core router in China to support both IPv4 and IPv6. Tsinghua Bitway’s BitEngine 12416 core router is currently in service as part of the CNGI (China Next Generation IP) network, which includes network infrastructure being implemented by China Telecom, China Mobile and CNC, as well as CERNET2, which connects Chinese universities in 20 cities.
