Network Search Engine Family Expanded

Expanding the company’s Class-IC family of network search engines, the 18-Mb DC18288 and 9-Mb DC9000 promise glueless connectivity with industry-standard network processors. The DC18288 targets users that require higher densities and is a pin-compatible upgrade for the DC9288. Capable of performing up to 100 million searches per second, the device is suitable for use in OC-48 and OC-192 applications. The DC9000 is optimized for applications that employ commercially available network processors. It integrates the Network Processor Forum LA-1 interface to ensure interoperability and eliminates the need for FPGA devices. The DC9000 performs multiple searches with incremental modifications, which is said to allow multiple lookups without consuming LA-1 bus bandwidth. The DC18288 is available now in a 432-pin BGA and the DC9000 will be available in the first quarter of 2003. For prices, call Romain Saha at MOSAID TECHNOLOGIES INC., Ontario, Canada.
