Fyo, Re: "Wouldn't it make sense for Intel to implement a TOE in a server chipset?" I agree with you that it would give them an advantage, providing the cost isn't too high. Like I said before, TOE might make a nice feature for a chipset, and with Intel integrating so many features already, I don't see how it can be overlooked as a possibility. The same goes for Intel's competitors in this area, too, though. wbmw

Re: Wouldn't it make sense for Intel to implement a TOE in a server chipset? With all this TOE sturm and drang, it's interesting that Intel is just, once again, copying an AMD product, the dual TCP/IP AU1500 network edge processor: Highly-Integrated System Peripherals 33/66 MHz 32-bit PCI Controller (PCI 2.2 compliant) GPIO (48 total, 22 dedicated) Two 10/100 Ethernet Controllers USB Device and Host Two UA RT s AC’97 Controller alchemysemi.com

fyodor - Wouldn't it make sense for Intel to implement a TOE in a server chipset? Intel licenses transport engine technology from Lucent for faster networks By Semiconductor Business News May 1, 2002 (5:46 AM) URL: siliconstrategies.com HILLSBORO, Ore. -- Intel Corp. today announced it is licensing technology, called transport offload engine (TOE), from Lucent Technologies Inc. to speed up and increase the efficiency of networks. Intel said the technology processes the many layers of network protocols--such as transmission control protocol (TCP), user datagram protocol (UDP), Internet protocol and Internet control message protocol (ICMP)--which are required with data transport. By off-loading these protocols to an dedicated engine, wire-speed performance increases and it frees up the primary host processor to focus on other applications, said Intel. As part of the licensing agreement, Intel will undertake additional development, testing and manufacturing of Lucent's TA1000 controller. Intel also plans to incorporate the TOE technology into its future Gigabit Ethernet and networked storage adapters. Lucent will use the Intel-manufactured TA1000 product in Lucent's networking products. Terms of the agreement were not released. "Enterprises deploying Gigabit Ethernet local area networks and networked storage today often need to add extra processing capabilities to maintain high levels of performance across their networks," said Jim Johnson, vice president of the Intel Communications Group and general manager of Intel's Platform Networking Group in Hillsboro. "The TOE technology provides capabilities that will help enable enterprises to deploy lower cost, higher performance network storage." According to Intel, the TOE technology is particularly important to enterprise and telecommunications service providers deploying Gigabit Ethernet technologies and storage area networks. These systems require vast amounts of information to be transmitted across fiber optic and copper-based networks. Intel said the benefit of TOE technology is faster access to stored data and lower networking costs. In addition to manufacturing a product utilizing TOE technology for use in future adapters, Intel will conduct interoperability testing, develop software and provide support to simplify integrating the transport offload engine into products.
