Applied Micro Circuits NP3700
The nP3700 is a 5-Gbps network processing and traffic management solution – the highest performance integrated solution in the industry. The nP3700 supports high-performance memory interfaces such as RLDRAM II, DDR DRAM, and DDR SRAM. The devices are offered in different speed grades to provide a range of performance and cost options tuned to the application.FEATURES
Supports 5-Gbps Traffic● nP5 Technology
● Mix and match Gigabit Ethernet, POS, and ATM traffic
● Standalone or as a line card in a larger system Proven nPcore Architecture
● 3 nPcores at 700 MHz optimized for network processing
● Single-stage single-image programming model
● High-speed RLDRAM-II, DDR-II memory interfaces for payload and context storage
● Per-flow metering and statistics for millions of flows Overview The nP3700 family of integrated network processors from AMCC are the first to incorporate the latest nP5TM technology. Developed over several generations of traffic management and network processor products, nP5 unites the flexibility of the industry’s highest performance network processing nPcore with the most widely deployed and mature traffic management technology. This unique combination enables developers to deliver extremely finegrained control of subscriber traffic, without impacting the ability to perform complex protocol inter-working at media speeds. The nP3700 family is designed from the ground up to provide software compatibility with the earlier generations of AMCC Network Processors.
