Horizon™ Communications Controllers
The Marvell Horizon™ family of advanced communications controllers provides all of the required network interfaces to bridge the Local Area Network (LAN) and the Internet infrastructure Wide Area Network (WAN) and combines all of the common functions found in multi-service access routers, into a single chip.
These devices target the core of next-generation multi-service edge routers and remote access equipment that merge the functions of:
- LAN-to-WAN routers
- Voice-over-IP gateways
- Network security equipment
- Remote access concentrators
The Horizon Family has been defined to enable end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) for applications that run at the edge of a network with the integration of hardware support for Differentiated Services (DiffServ) and 802.1p and 802.1q.
The Horizon GT-96122 and GT-96132 communications controllers provide new packet processing capabilities for systems that require the convergence of voice, video and data at the edge of the network. The integrated NetGX™ Co-processor handles compute-intensive tasks such as flow-classification based on Layer 3-5 packet information, encryption and authentication for security purposes and virtually any other packet processing functions typically handled by the host CPU. The NetGX Co-processor off-loads the host CPU, preserving its compute power to handling multi-service applications such as managing Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), firewalls and integrated voice services.
