Datasheet
10G Network Processor Chip Set (APP750NP and APP750TM)
Introduction
The Agere Systems PayloadPlus
Processor chip set provides wire-speed deep-
packet processing for high performance packet-
processing systems. This software-compatible,
programmable chip set consists of two chips—
the APP750NP classification engine (NP10) and
the APP750TM traffic manager (TM10)—and
follows the successful Agere Systems 2.5G
PayloadPlus chip set.
This 10G chip set provides full carrier-class
packet processing functionality, including
classification, policing, statistics, queueing,
scheduling, shaping, buffer management and
packet/cell modification. A three-chip
configuration—one NP10 and two TM10s—
provides full duplex 10 Gb/s packet processing

functionality. An additional NP10 can be added if
egress classification is required. The 10G
PayloadPlus solution requires only DRAM and a
small amount of SRAM for external memory to
provide high-performance functionality. No
content addressable memory (CAM) is required.
The chip set supports complex packet
classification policies, including multifield IPv4/
IPv6 classification, PPPoE, L2TP, MPLS, etc.,
with a large amount of headroom for future
classification needs. OEMs use the Agere
Systems high-level Functional Programming
Language (FPL) to specify packet classification
policies. Statistics, policing, and packet
modification functions are performed by on-chip
compute engines that are programmed using the
C-like Agere Scripting Language (ASL).
