LOS GATOS, Calif. -- Clearwater Networks, formerly XStreamLogic, an innovator in the development of next-generation networkservices processors, today unveiled details of their first product, theCNP810SP™ Network Services Processor, designed for processing advancedLayer 4-7 services in sophisticated networking systems.The CNP810SP processor allows networking equipment vendors to implementadvanced layer 4-7 networking services such as URL-based web switching,traffic shaping, billing, service level agreements (SLA), VPN's, networkaddress translation (NAT), stateful firewalls, TCP termination, and IPv6gateways at multi-gigabit data rates. The CNP810SP processor is capableof processing over 25 million packets per second and can gluelesslyconnect to standard networking interfaces at up to 12.8 Gbps. Theprocessor is designed to sit on line cards or service cards within edgerouters, or on PCI and PCI-X cards in NAS devices and network servers.The CNP810SP processor provides a simple programming interface that runsMIPS-compatible software and leverages standard development tools,providing time-to-market advantages as well as increased performance. "Our customers want to perform sophisticated processing on networktraffic at multi-gigabit data rates," stated Dan O'Neill, CEO ofClearwater Networks. "To achieve this goal, they require a processorthat has very high performance and throughput. At the same time, theyalso demand a simple programming environment that runs existing softwareand uses familiar and robust development tools. The CNP810SP processordelivers the highest performance in the industry, while leveraging theinstalled base of MIPS-compatible software and development tools."Clearwater Networks Inc.
