A parameterized analytical model of network processors is presented in terms of MPSoC design methodology,called NePlat.

This paper puts forward an implementation scheme,which is called Network Address Translation(NAT)/Network Address Port Translation(NAPT) based on programmable Network Processor(NP) IXP2400 and GP-CPU.

Traditional IP datagram multicast technology has restrained the data processing ability of the processor(especially network processor(NP)),the forwarding efficiency is not high,because it needs to copy lots of data of the datagram many times and results in a large amount of I/O operations to the buffer memory.

Discussion on the Key Technologies of Network Processor(NP) and Its Application Prospect;

The Design and Implementation of NAT in Giga-Bit Firewall Based on NP;

A overview picture of recent research on intrusion detection system in high-speed network is presented, and the separate analysis of the load-balancing based on IDS model and FPGA based model, especially focusing on packet capture, load balancing and packet analysis are exprounded which are essential for a NP based on intrusion detection system.
