Wind River Intelligent Network Platform
Wind River® Intelligent Network Platform enables equipment providers to build high
performance, high value products that accelerate, analyze, and secure network traffic and
applications. The platform is an integrated and optimized software system consisting of the
critical run-time components and life cycle development tools needed to build intelligent
network elements. Experience the performance gains:
• Up to 1,100% faster IP forwarding than native Linux*
• Up to 500% faster UDP or TCP termination than native Linux*
• Up to 28x reduced latency for deep packet inspection pattern matching
Wind River Intelligent Network Platform is architected to give our customers maximum
scalability and flexibility to build faster, smarter, and more secure products. The platform
integrates the key software components to design high-performance, intelligent network
applications in a consolidated management and data plane system. Customers can utilize the
entire platform or, in some cases, interchange and extend individual components with existing
in-house technologies.
• Integrated Intel® Data Plane Development Kit library

As advanced multi-core technologies proliferate throughout the network, true performance
capabilities can only be unlocked by optimizing intelligent software for the latest hardware
platforms. Wind River Intelligent Network Platform takes full advantage of Intel multi-core
communication platforms. Performance gains include the following:
• Significant improvements for IP forwarding, UDP, and TCP
• Reduced pattern-matching latency
• Substantially reduced data plane network application latency
Software is at the forefront of defining the next-generation network. Not only can it
significantly improve network performance but it can also provide the built-in intelligence
necessary to deliver new services, greater security, and even more value than ever before. Wind
River Intelligent Network Platform provides the following:
• Deep packet inspection for pattern-matching use cases such as intrusion prevention
• Smart acceleration of security protocols for use in secure clouds and VPNs
• Cost savings through system consolidation
Wind River has done the heavy lifting for you. Wind River Intelligent Network Platform includes
all the components necessary to build an ultra-fast, highly intelligent network product-and all
the software necessary to consolidate management plane and data plane applications into one
system, saving capital expenditures. The platform can save development teams several years of
engineering effort to build, test, and engineer a similar solution with the following features:
• Comprehensive management plane and data plane software system, including Linux*, Intel®
DPDK, layer 3 and 4 accelerated network protocols, and pattern matching libraries, with
extensibility for other DPI engines
