Title: Research of IPv6 High Performance Router Based on IXP2400
Abstract: With a variety of new services, the rapid development of Internet network technology and people's demand, the scale and performance of the rapid growth of the network, the network information on the data processing must provide the required quality of service and maintenance management, solve the problems in the development of high speed network. This paper gives a detailed analysis of the hardware structure, system architecture and programming model of Intel IXP2400 network processor, the network processor to carry on the exploration of IPv6 high performance router design technology based on network processor, first understand the characteristics and functions, then introduces the network processor design to comply with a series of standards and their scope of application, and then combined with the basic principle of common the comparison of IPv4 and IPv6 router, router, the final analysis of the IPv6 network processor in the future will cause rapidly popularization, represent the core function unit of the next generation network device, there must be a great space for development.
