MorethanIP announces new 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC-NET Core enabling Layer 3 Protocol acceleration for wire-speed TCP/IP implementations

Karlsfeld February 3, 2004 - MorethanIP announces new 10/100/1000 Ethernet MAC-NET Core. At high network speeds, or when CPU resources are limited, the processing load caused by network layers to perform TCP/IP or UDP/IP transactions can quickly become unacceptable as it reasonably slows down the complete system for processing the protocol overhead. In addition, timely and fast serving of network transactions is necessary to be able to use the available network bandwidth and to avoid unnecessary data corruption (e.g. due to buffer overflows) which would result in causing even higher network and processor load.
The MAC-NET Core addresses and removes these performance critical components from software and combines the proven MorethanIP Triple-Speed Ethernet MAC Core with Layer 3 Protocol acceleration functions enabling wire-speed TCP/IP Networking up to Gigabit environments.
