Silicon Access Unveils Classifier

SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Silicon Access Networks, an industryleader in semiconductor data path processing solutions, today announced itsiFlow™ Classifier (iCL), the industry’s fastest multi-field packetclassification co-processor. The iCL is a unique high-performance networkingcoprocessor combining classification performance in excess of 100 millionsearches-per-second (sustained) with an integration level 3-7 times that ofcompeting solutions. The device can classify traffic flows at rates up to40Gbps and process up to 200M statistics operations per second.“Traditional ternary-CAM based classification solutions are lacking in termsof performance, integration, and reliability,” said Mitch Kahn, vicepresident of marketing for Silicon Access Networks. “The iFlow Classifierdevice solves these problems by providing unmatched lookup performance in alow-power subsystem-on-chip device. In addition, we’ve incorporated uniqueerror-correcting memory technology that eliminates the soft-error failuresthat affect traditional CAM products.”Silicon Access Networks Inc.
