Ethernet Switch

Run network operating systems and control-plane software on NXP Layerscape processors.

Overview

The backbone of most networks, switches need a processor for control and management. It must have high-speed PCIe and Ethernet links to switch ICs to swap packets requiring special handling and issue commands and must also integrate efficient, standard CPUs to host network operating systems or traditional control-plane code. Layerscape addresses the control requirements of switches, be they for SMB, enterprise/campus, data center or carrier use.
