Packet processors handle 1-Gbit/s IPSec

The Comcerto 1000 single- and dual-core packet processors include a powerful security engine capable of delivering scalable VPN performance at 100 Mbits/s to full-duplex 1-Gbit/s symmetric IPSec data rates. The chips’ programmable QoS engines completely offload cycle-intensive packet processing from the CPU.

Based on an ARM11 core running at 450, 533, or 650 MHz, the devices target a wide variety of voice and data communication equipment and use less than 2 W typ at 650 MHz. The family has a high-speed multilayer bus architecture that allows six simultaneous DMA operations, a USB 2.0 PHY, two PCIe lanes, two GbE ports, and a four-port DDR2 controller.
