The component is a System-on-Chip supporting the real time processing of packets and protocol data units from various networking interfaces. Its target is to be used as the central processing unit for various multifunctional networking systems including RGs, IADs, STBs, and IP PBXs. We focus on the system architecture and the component reusable IP cores, namely the header processor, the security engine, the data-handling unit and the open source 32-bit RISC LEON CPU. As communication interfaces, the chip integrates 802.3 MAC, ATM, AAL5, HDLC, UART and a generic packet interface for voice and video processing peripherals. It has been prototyped using a large XILINX Virtex FPGA and UMC 0.18u CMOS technolo...
