Integrated access device (IAD) solution using Intel IXP2350 network processor

Abstract

This paper introduces a solution of integrated access device (IAD) using IXP2350. Firstly, this paper describes IAD and IXP2350 hardware architecture and the benefit of using IXP2350 for an IAD solution. Then this article introduces the hardware and software design of this IAD solution. This solution use Intel IXP-C and auto-partitioning programming model and implements the basic functions IAD needs including voice and wireless processing, DiffServ, traffic management, etc.
