The NPE-100, NPE-150, and NPE-200 consist of the following components:
Reduced instruction set computing (RISC) microprocessor
•
–
–
System controller
•
The system controller provides hardware logic to interconnect the processor, DRAM, and the
PCI-based system backplane bus. The NPE-150 and NPE-200 have a system controller that uses
direct memory access (DMA) to transfer data between DRAM and packet SRAM on the network
processing engine.
