San Francisco: IP developer Intelop announced the roll out of its second generation TCP offload engine system-on-chip (SoC) integrated with ARP hardware module, G Bit Ethernet MAC and AMBA 2.0 bus interface running at 2Gbps sustained rates, reports EE Times. According to the Intelop, the company designed, verified and implemented this SoC in Altera's high-speed FPGA. The Altera device that was used was not revealed. Because of its advanced scalable architecture, the module can be customized to implement differentiated features and performance requirements to meet customer's specifications, Intelop said. The company said, the module implements control plane and data plane processing of TCP/IP in hardware that is at least 20 times faster than TCP/IP software stack. The architecture provides, as an option, an ability to integrate other interfaces such as PCIex4.
