Synopsis

Written for software engineers, this book explains how to program the microengines of Intel's IXP 1200 family of network processors. The book describes the hardware and development environment and uses a series of expanding examples to outline the correct approach to programming. Common mistakes are identified. The book assumes no previous experience with Intel IXA components. A companion CD-ROM contains the microengine code examples used in the book and a IXA developer's kit for building applications. Johnson and Kunze are software engineers at Intel Labs. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
