At PacketArc we build high-performance Ethernet switch IP cores for packet based communication in FPGA or ASIC technology. All of our IPs are based on an in-house generator we call FlexSwitch. The output from FlexSwitch is datasheet, C-API and verilog source code for the IP Cores.

The FlexSwitch IP is primarily designed to support Switching, Routing and Software Defined Networking (SDN) for Ethernet, but it can easily be used for any packet based processing technologies.

The packet processing is developed in the PAC language. By using a custom language and an in-house high-level synthesis tool flow we achieve a quick turnaround while maintaining excellent area and performance.

Currently available off-the-shelf IP is a complete standard conforming Ethernet L2/L3 switch/router supporting aggregate bandwidth of many 100 Gbit/s in a mid range FPGA, and many Tbit/s when implemented in an ASIC.

The FlexSwitch IP is designed to support custom port speeds up to 1 Terabit/s. Off-the-shelf IP supports standard Ethernet speeds from 100 Mbit/s to 100 Gbit/s.

Reference design for 8x10G Ethernet L2 switch using Xilinx Virtex 690T device is available using only a 20% of this devices logic.

We offer design services to help you in designing optimal packet processing systems such as switches, routers or other packet based systems
