Anticipating and addressing the packet processing needs of next generation networking applications up to 40 Gbps and beyond, the search accelerator assists packet header processing with industry leading performance and service capabilities at wire speed. Search accelerators are vital solutions helping solve network challenges such as triple play convergence, complex multi-layer Ethernet protocols in metropolitan networks, zero packet loss, increasing security and access control, broader address spaces, and increasing importance of system reliability; all of which are placing unprecedented demands on search capability for packet header processing.

As with the IDT family of award-winning network search engine solutions, the 75S10000A accelerates packet flow by offloading classification and forwarding lookups from packet processing elements such as network processors and application specific integrated circuits (ASICs). With the ability to launch four parallel searches, search performance is quadrupled, allowing the search accelerator to enable a broader range of services to be applied to packet-based traffic at high line rates. Utilizing an innovative architecture optimized to support wider search keys and complex IPv6-based traffic without compromises, the search accelerator is also the first search solution to implement enhanced error detection and correction (ECC) ensuring data integrity. The combination of these elements results in a solution that provides industry leading search performance, rich services support, and the highest reliability available for search acceleration of packet based traffic.
