Intelop announces major enhancements to their TCP-Offload Engine SoC IP that has integrated GEMAC, ARP module and AMBA 2.0 bus and PCIe interface running at 2-Gbps also is capable of managing thousands of simultaneous TCP sessions in realtime

Santa Clara, California -- Feb 23, 2009 -- Intelop Corporation, a leading high end IP developer, customization & electronic engineering design services provider, today announced major enhancements to their second generation TCP offload engine SoC solution integrated with ARP hardware module, G Bit Ethernet MAC and AMBA 2.0 bus interface running at 2 Gbps sustained rates. The latest enhancements will allow customers to fine tune and achieve significant performance improvements when this TOE hardware in client/server modes in connections where remote end is running legacy TCP/IP software stacks. It is the only TOE engine that does it and integrates so many functions in hardware. All of connection, packet transfer, disconnection, session management overhead which traditionally was performed by TCP/IP software is accomplished by this TOE. It is a new paradigm and new level of integration in networking hardware acceleration. It implements control plane and data plane processing of TCP/IP in hardware that is at least 20 times faster than TCP/IP software stack.

Because of its advanced scalable architecture, it can be customized to implement differentiated features and performance requirements to meet customer’s specifications e.g. misc. protocol processing and monitoring at G-bit line rate, in addition to TCP/IP, ARP module, number of simultaneous connections, TCP/IP performance tuning based upon type of network/traffic and application usage, scalable packet FIFO size, scalable size of Session Management table, Session Parameters, scalable size of direct store Packet memories, integrated DDR/SSRAM controllers, choice of PHY interface - XGMII or Serial and more.

This Integrated TOE SoC silicon IP with customizable features provides enhanced functionality in all networking equipment including; Layer-2-5 Switches/Routers, IPS/IDS appliances and Network Security appliances, Severs and high end NICs. Advanced architecture with built in scalability allows customers to target it to many silicon libraries from FPGAs to 0.18 um-0.090 nm ASIC or SOC without compromising performance or functionality.

“We utilized our expertise in designing highly successful and advanced technology Multi-Giga bit Enterprise-class IDS/IPS, Network Security appliances employing SOCs also designed by intelop in defining the architecture of this TOE engine,” said K Masood. Intelop also integrated many of their IPs with other standard IPs in SOCs/FPGAs and developed necessary software as a total turn key solutions for their customers.

“We are excited about this new crown jewel and the ability to develop value-added networking silicon and total solutions for our customers.” said Kevin Moore of Intelop.
