Khan and all, Just back from vacation. Great to see WIND getting back to where it belongs. Here's an interesting story from the IDF. As I understand it GigaBlade is a system containing a particular type of Network processor which Intel acquired from Softcom last year. It's a 64-bit processor with a 128-bit version on the drawing board. Before Softcom was bought by Intel the processor ran on VxWorks. It's now part of the IXA family. GigaBlade techweb.com "The Optical Services Platform (OSP) chassis will clamp directly onto a fiber-optic cable. The cable, bent in a "U" shape, will allow signals to pass through unharmed, but the GigaBlade's receiving laser will be able to pick up light signals that "spray" from the U-turn in the fiber, Stelliga said. The OSP will then use Softcom's processor-now called the IXF6401-to process the incoming packets or cells. Initially, the GigaBlade boards will contain four IXF6401 processors; eventually those will be replaced by a single processor that will handle OC-192 (10-Gbit/s) traffic. The road map for GigaBlade has the IXF6401 being replaced by more powerful versions over time, with a 128-bit processor to debut in 2002. Intel also plans to release an eight-processor version of the board. The attendant server will be upgraded along with the Intel architecture, eventually shifting to 64-bit Itaniums" Intel's OC-48 GigaBlade Enables New Services For Optical Networks intel.com Regards JC.
