Intel Case Study: IDT PAX.Port 2500 Content Inspection Engine (CIE) and Intel IXP2400 Network Processor
Overview Content inspection being the primary role of security solutions, it has become a serious performance bottleneck, subject to growing pressure from an ever-increasing volume of network traffic and the evolving complexity of risks. To increase overall throughput, designers typically use custom ASICs or combine several processors in a single system. Both tactics require costly, time-consuming development resources, and offer little flexibility to adapt to new threats. This case study illustrates the capabilities of a discrete content inspection engine working in conjunction with a network processor in intrusion detection and prevention systems.
