100Gbps NPU for Carrier Ethernet Applications

Mellanoxs NP-4 is a highly flexible network processor providing wire-speed packet processing with both an integrated traffic manager and a control CPU. NP-4 provides the silicon core of next-generation Carrier Ethernet Switches and Routers (CESR).

Through programming the NP-4 delivers a variety of applications such as L2 switching, QVLAN stacking, MPLS and VPLS, and IPv4/IPv6 routing coupled with QoS for providing flow-based service level agreements (SLA).
