The lab projects for this course are based on the Intel IXP1200 network processor. The evaluation platforms are made available to us through a donation from the Intel IXA University Program. Lab HardwareThe IXP1200 network processor is a chip-multiprocessor with six microengines for packet processing and one control processor. It is augmented by several packet processing specific components. The evaluation board has four 100 Mb/s Ethernet interfaces through which packets can be sent and received. The hardware and software architecture will be explained in detail in class. The following pictures shows the evaluation board: Lab ProjectsThere are three labs that will be implemented:
