I am considering a project to translate tcc output (C code or external interface) to network processor code, so that the NP can do the actual traffic shaping. I have a platform using the Intel IXP1200 NP on a PCI card, which functions as a NIC for the host PC running Linux. This approach would reduce the processing load on the host. Has anyone attempted anything like this? I have never used tcng before, but I have been reading all of the available documentation. Is there anything that I should know about tcc or its output before I attempt this? Thanks, Chris
I see that Bivio uses a network processor with TCNG, but I can't find any more details... There are no whitepapers on the website. Werner (or anyone else at Bivio), are you able to provide any details? -----Original Message----- From: lartc-admin@mailman.ds9a.nl [mailto:lartc-admin@mailman.ds9a.nl] On Behalf Of Chris Clark Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 12:03 AM To: lartc@mailman.ds9a.nl Subject: [LARTC] tcng and network processor I am considering a project to translate tcc output (C code or external interface) to network processor code, so that the NP can do the actual traffic shaping.
