Product Brief nP3705 2.5-Gbps Network Processor with Integrated Traffic Manager Benefits Overview • High integration for Significant form factor, cost, and power savings • Hardware-based Traffic Manager for guaranteed performance • Software compatibility with previous generation nP devices: nP37x0, nP34xx, nP7250 • Simple programming model for rapid development and quick time-to-market The nP3705 family of integrated network processors is a derivative of the nP3700 family that expands AMCC’s nP5TM technology to lower speed, cost-sensitive access applications. of feature-rich, wire-speed, Layer 2-7 applications by combining the simplified nPcoreTM programming model of all AMCC NPUs with open, layered nPsoft Services, advanced development tools, rich reference application libraries, and both simulation and real hardware-based development systems. Because the nP3705 allows easy API access to onchip coprocessors for complex tasks, customer differentiating features can be created faster and with fewer lines of code. Developed over several generations of traffic management and network processor products, nP5 unites the flexibility of the industry’s highest performance network processing nPcore with the most widely deployed and mature traffic management technology. This unique combination enables developers to deliver extremely finegrained control of subscriber traffic, without impacting the ability to perform complex protocol inter-working at media speeds. The nP3705 family is designed from the ground up to provide software compatibility with the earlier generations of AMCC Network Processors. The single-stage programming model dramatically simplifies software development and troubleshooting for quickest time-to-market. Features Supports 2.5-Gbps Traffic • nP5 Technology • Mix and match Gigabit Ethernet, POS, and ATM traffic • Standalone or as a line card in a larger system Proven nPcore Architecture • 1 nPcore at 700 MHz optimized for network processing • Single-stage single-image programming model • High-speed RLDRAM-II or FCRAM-II memory interface for payload and context storage • Per-flow metering and statistics for millions of flows Industry Leading Integration and Performance The nP3705 is a 2.5-Gbps network processing and traffic management solution. In addition to highperformance packet processing and fine-grained traffic management, the nP3705 includes specialized coprocessors that perform classification, policing, and coherent database management for unparalleled line-rate performance. The devices are offered in different speed grades to provide a range of performance and cost options tuned to the application.
