C-5 : C-5 Network Processor (NP)
The C-5 Network Processor (NP) is the first member of the C-Port family of network
processors, specially designed for networking applications. Its high-level of programmability
and wire-speed performance make it the best foundation for building networking products and
services.
C-5 Features
The C-5 network processor incorporates an unprecedented combination of functionality,
computing power, and data bandwidth in a flexible, patent-pending architecture. This
architecture supports complete programmability from Layer 2 through Layer 7 of the ISO
model, allowing the C-5 network processor to be used in a wide range of networking
applications. In addition, the C-5 network processor's simple programming model and
advanced development tools enable you to get to market sooner with clearly differentiated
products.
Cell and packet processing, table lookup processing, and queue management functions are all
integrated into the C-5 network processor architecture. With the addition of physical interfaces, memory (for payload,
circuit/routing tables, and payload descriptor queues), and minimal support logic, the C-5 network processor can be used to
implement intelligent, high-performance, mixed media, multiport, multiprotocol switches and routers.
Stable programming interfaces, a complete development environment, and third-party support through the Motorola's Smart
Networks Alliance contribute to a fully integrated platform approach that can solve a wide range of communications tasks and
simplify the development of full-featured networking applications.
