The introduction of the statistics engine is yet another step in our ongoing effort to couple systems-level application understanding with our various technologies to deliver value-added solutions that improve upon performance and cost effectiveness. Customers looking to design a 10G (OC-192) edge/access/metro router, coupled with a current-generation packet processor, will experience difficulty achieving line rates when supporting thousands of customer flows. This equipment requires differentiated services, and maintaining quality of service and service-level agreements at line rates with a single processor design is nearly impossible. By preventing the processor element from stalling on the restrictive external bus transactions, the IDT statistics engine will play a critical role in helping customers overcome system-performance challenges.  -   Michael Miller     Quotes
