Cavium Networks Announces NITROX DPI CN17XX Layer 7 Content Processor Family

The NITROX(R) DPI CN17XX processor family is the most advanced hardware acceleration co-processor family for Layer 7 content processing. When used with OCTEON(R) and other general purpose processors, it enables intelligent, deep packet inspection in next-generation networking and wireless applications from 4 to 20 Gbps performance. The CN17XX processor family integrates PCI Express I/Os along with the most advanced deep packet inspection engines, Hyper Finite Automation Thread Engine (HTE), to deliver the highest performance that is deterministic, has low latency and is independent of the pattern rule-set size and traffic flows. NITROX DPI processors are targeted for a wide range of applications including application level firewalls, intrusion prevention (IPS), gateway anti-virus, unified threat management and content-based QoS in routers, switches, appliances and services blades…
