Packet Architects develops Switching and Routing IPs for Ethernet, Fibre Channel and other packet processing technologies. Ethernet is ubiquitous in today’s communication systems, yet there’re very few IP’s available beyond MAC level.This is due to the need for high flexibility at switching/routing level which makes the use of fixed IP’s difficult. With Packet Architects unique FlexSwitch technology it is possible to get an IP that exactly matches the performance/cost point targeted. Not only are parameters such as port count and bandwidth easily changed, it is also possible to change and extend the protocol processing with very limited development effort.

Packet Architects offers three types of services:

Custom packet processing system development

At Packet Architects we have extensive experience in developing ASIC/FPGAs for systems such as ethernet switches and routers. We offer expert services to help customers develop their own packet processing system.
With our broad expertise in both Software and Hardware we can help from developing product specifications, system architecture down to implementation, using a combination of software, processor, NPU, FPGA and ASIC solutions.

Custom switch instances

Packet Architects can develop a switch IP from customer specification based on the FlexSwitch architecture and tool chain. Using our flexible architecture and tool chain the development cost is substantially lower than developing the solution from scratch or modifying an existing IP. The implementation is suitable for both FPGA and ASIC implementations.

FlexSwitch Architecture and Toolchain

For customer that need to develop custom switch instances in-house the complete architecture and tool chain can be licensed.
