Network Processors: The Optimal Building Block for Next Generation IP Routers

We are now seeing an architectural competition for next generation edge routers. The three dominant architectural solutions in contention are:

  • software-based routers

  • ASIC-based routers

  • network processor-based routers.

Network processor-based routers represent the optimal building block for next generation IP networks. This paper reviews these three architectures in detail and shows what they are optimized to do, and how they can perform their functions. This paper also suggests how these different routers can be optimally deployed in the service provider's network to take advantage of the strength of each architecture.
