High-Radix Design of a Scalable Modular Multiplier

This paper describes an algorithm and architecture based on an extension of a scalable radix-2 architecture proposed in a previous work. The algorithm is proven to be correct and the hardware design is discussed in detail. Experimental results are shown to compare a radix-8 implementation with a radix-2 design. The scalable Montgomery multiplier is adjustable to constrained areas yet being able...

Scalable Active Optical Access Network Using Variable High-Speed PLZT Optical Switch/Splitter

This paper proposes a scalable active optical access network using high-speed Plumbum Lanthanum Zirconate Titanate (PLZT) optical switch/splitter. The Active Optical Network, called ActiON, using PLZT switching technology has been presented to increase the number of subscribers and the maximum transmission distance, compared to the Passive Optical Network (PON). ActiON supports the multicast sl...

Definition, Design & Development of the IXE2424 Network Switch/Router ASIC

This paper highlights key aspects of the cumulative technical experience of the past two years at Intel, Bangalore, in defining, designing, implementing and ramping to production of the Intel IXE2424 ASIC. The IXE2424 is a Layer 2-3-4 Network Switch/Router, consisting of over twenty-five million transistors, manufactured in 0.18u 1P6M CMOS process. The team at Bangalore completed all steps of f...

Multiservice Networking using a Component-based Switch and Router Architecture

Network operators have long striven to utilize equipment from multiple vendors to drive down costs. Furthermore, in competitive environments, operators have separated out functions of network elements and distributed them in order to differentiate the offered services. This trend began with deregulation in the telephone industry and promises to accelerate in the Internet age.
