New functionality
Faster
IPsec & SSL Performance:
The HIPP II line of security processors provides multi-protocol
processing for IPsec and SSL at OC-48 FDX system rates and
up to 4,500 SSL session set-ups per second.
Improved
SSL Capabilities:
HIPP II, not only provides faster math acceleration for
SSL Public Key processing, but also handles the entire SSL
handshake, which otherwise involves multiple function calls
and CPU interrupts that can bog down a system bus and NPU,
even at OC-3 speeds.
Dual
interfaces:
HIPP II provides simultaneous use of 33/66MHz PCI for the
control path and the independent 32-bit streaming input
& output buses for the data path.
Common
architecture and design
System
designers who have implemented HIPP I into their designs
need not worry about future design issues when developing
higher-performance products, as both HIPP I and HIPP II
(as well as future generations) are software compatible.
Plus, all HIPP II processors are pin compatible.
