Product Overview
Equipment designed for network access, edge, and enterprise
applications requires robust network processing performance
to support value-added network services at line rate. Quick
implementation of new network services is a primary objective.
To be competitive, however, vendors of network equipment
must also minimize their development time and cost. To support
these requirements, network processors need to combine high
performance with flexible control of processing resources.
The Intel IXP2805 and IXP2855 network processors are designed
to provide these capabilities through a fully programmable,
parallel processing architecture on a single chip. They handle
complex algorithms and perform deep packet inspection,
traffic management, and forwarding at speeds up to 10 Gbps.
In addition, the IXP2855 network processor has integrated
cryptography engines that enable implementation of security
features, eliminating the need for an additional specialized
processor.
The Intel
Development Platforms further enhance the value of the
network processors by accelerating the development and
validation of new products designed for OC-3 to OC-48 and
multi-Gigabit line rates. Developers can use these platforms in
several ways:
• Write code and run simulations in a Windows*-based PC
• Reuse platform schematic source files to jump-start board
• Validate a design using the base card and mezzanine cards
• Add additional AdvancedTCA-compliant boards from Intel
• Design a proprietary switch fabric card or use a standard
environment using the graphical workbench and cycle-
accurate simulator. They can then use the advanced
development platform to verify system functionality even
before customer hardware is available.

In addition, flexibility is essential to meet rapidly evolving
network requirements. The use of open standards and modular
architecture allows for maximum flexibility to incorporate
software, hardware, and add-on cards from Intel and its
ecosystem of hardware and software providers, the Intel
Communications Alliance (www.intel.com/go/ica).
Components
The flexible, modular IXDP2805 and IXDP2855 Advanced
Development Platforms include a PICMG 3.0, AdvancedTCA-
compliant chassis, network processor base card, and a shelf
manager to enable simultaneous development and testing
of system management software. A selection of modular
mezzanine cards supports a broad range of LAN and WAN
I/O interfaces, and a standard PMC interface makes it easy
for developers to incorporate third-party PMC cards for
control plane processing or other specialized functions.
Chassis
A five-slot development chassis with full-mesh backplane enables
rapid development. It supports inter-blade communication
over the base interface and full-mesh fabric interfaces in
accordance with PICMG 3.0 and PIGMG 3.x standards.
An external 1200W power supply and AdvancedTCA-compliant
Shelf Management Module (SMM) complete the AdvancedTCA
environment. The SMM understands Intelligent Platform
Management Interface (IPMI) commands and uses them to
communicate with field replaceable units (FRUs) such as boards,
fan trays, or power entry modules over the Intelligent Platform
Management Bus (IPMB), allowing the SMM to monitor
and manage system health. Developers can use the SMM’s
standard interface to implement and test high-availability fea-
tures from the start of product development.
The chassis dissipates up to 200W per board and is designed
to meet NEBS requirements for cooling, noise, and shielding.
The backplane provides mounting provision for five 8Ux280 mm
AdvancedTCA-compliant boards, five Rear Transition Modules
(RTMs), and two 4Ux4HP shelf managers.
