ETHERNET PACKET PROCESSOR FOR SOC APPLICATIONcscpconf
As the demand for Internet expands significantly in numbers of users, servers, IP addresses,
switches and routers, the IP based network architecture must evolve and change. The design
of domain specific processors that require high performance, low power and high degree of
programmability is the bottleneck in many processor based applications. This paper describes
the design of ethernet packet processor for system-on-chip (SoC) which performs all core
packet processing functions, including segmentation and reassembly, packetization
classification, route and queue management which will speedup switching/routing
performance. Our design has been configured for use with multiple projects ttargeted to a
commercial configurable logic device the system is designed to support 10/100/1000 links with a speed advantage. VHDL has been used to implement and simulated the required functions in FPGA.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. NETWORK INTERFACE CARD (NIC)
A network interface card (NIC) is a computer circuit board or card that is installed in a computer
so that it can be connected to a network.
Personal computers and workstations on a local area network (LAN) typically contain a network
interface card specifically designed for the LAN transmission technology, such as Ethernet or
token ring. Network interface cards provide a dedicated, full-time connection to a network. Most
home and portable computers connect to the Internet through as-needed dial-up connection. The
modem provides the connection interface to the Internet service provider.
BASIC OF NETWORK INTERFACE CARD
•
For any computer, a network interface card (NIC) performs two crucial tasks
–
Establishes and manages the computer’s network connection
–
Translates digital computer data into signals (appropriate for the networking
medium) for outgoing messages, and translates signals into digital computer data
for incoming messages
•
NIC establishes a link between a computer and a network, and then manages that link
3. •
NICs also manage transformations in network data’s form
–
The computer bus has series of parallel data lines
•
Parallel transmission
•
For nearly all forms of networking media, signals traversing the media consist of a linear
sequence of information that corresponds to a linear sequence of bits of data (serial
transmission)
•
To redistribute serial data to parallel lines (and vice versa), one of the most important
components on a NIC is memory, which acts as a buffer
OPERATIONS OF NETWORK INTERFACE CARD
The main function of a network adapter is to pick up the data, send it to network cables from the
computer, divide the data into appropriate packets and send them to the network so as to allow
the computer to access that network. Each NIC card has a ROM chip that contains a unique
number, the media access control (MAC) Address that is permanent. The MAC address
identifies the device uniquely on the LAN.
Network interface cards, usually referred to as NICs, act as the physical interface or connection
between the computer and the network cable. The cards are installed in an expansion slot in each
computer and server on the network.
After the NIC has been installed, the network cable is attached to the card's port to make the
actual physical connection between the computer and the rest of the network.
4. Some Imp. Operation of the NIC is given below:
1) Prepare data from the computer for the network cable.
2) Send the data to another computer.
3) Control the flow of data between the computer and the cabling system.
4) Receive incoming data from the cable and translate it into bytes that can be understood by the
computer's central processing unit (CPU).
PRINCIPALS OF NIC CONFIGURATION:
•
Match NIC to slot on PC or external connection such as USB
•
Microsoft introduced Plug and Play (PnP) architecture with Windows 95
–
Defines a set of configuration protocols so that a computer can communicate with
its peripherals during the power-on self-test (POST) sequence and auto-negotiate
a working configuration
•
NIC configuration involves modifying settings
–
Interrupt request line (IRQ)
–
Base I/O port
–
Base memory address
5. SPECIAL PURPOSE NIC WIRELESS ADAPTERS AND REMOTE
BOOT ADAPTERS:
In addition to straightforward network adapters, several types of cards deliver specialized
capabilities. They include interfaces for wireless networks, as well as a feature for so-called
diskless workstations (“thin clients”), which must access the network to load an OS when they
boot these cards are said to support remote booting or remote initial program load.
Wireless Adapters
•
Wireless interfaces usually incorporate some or all of the following components:
–
–
Software to enable the adapter to work with a particular network environment
–
Diagnostic software
–
•
Indoor antenna and antenna cable
Installation software
Wireless NICs are commonly used with an access point to add wireless elements to an
existing LAN
•
Select: speed, wireless standard, other (e.g., security)
Fig.-Wireless Card
6. Remote Boot Adapters
•
The network must be the source of access to the programs needed to start a diskless
workstation
–
Some NICs include a chip socket for a special bit of circuitry called a Boot
PROM, which is referred to as preboot execution environment (PXE) compliant
–
Remote boot adapters offer several advantages
•
Cost savings because no hard drive is required
•
Improved reliability (hard drives are a common source of problems)
•
Security is increased (no sensitive data can be stored on the computer)
•
Virus attacks are useless
7. Device Driver Software
NIC DRIVER CONFIGURATION:
•
Device driver: small, specialized program that represents a device to an OS and manages
communications between the OS and NIC
•
Incorrect/poorly written drivers can have negative impact on performance or prevent PC
from booting
•
Major vendor standards for drivers
–
–
Win32 Driver Model (WDM)
–
•
Network Device Interface Specification (NDIS)
Open Data-link Interface (ODI)
Installing a driver for a NIC is usually easy
10. Equipment Perspective
REPEATER
Repeater are used to take the signal that it receive from the computers & other devices on the
LAN and regenerate the signal in order for the signal to maintain its integrity while travelling
along a longer media run that is normally possible. Repeaters are used within network to extend
the length of communication. Repeaters work at the physical layer of OSI model.
Repeater do not have any capability of directing network traffic or deciding what particular route
that certain data should take, they are simply devices that sit on the network and boost the data
signal that they receive.
Fig. -Repeater
11. BRIDGE:
Bridge is an internetworking device used to connect similar network segments. When the bridge
receives the signals it read address of both sender and receiver.
If the sender is a computer in segment A and the receiver is also segment A, it would not pass the
signals to the segments B. It will however pass signals if the sender is in one segment and the
receiver in other segment. Bridge works at the data link layer of O.S.I model .They also use the
software to help get the job done.
Like repeaters they can connect similar network types with different .Bridge extends network
segments by connecting them together to make
Fig.- Bridge
12. ROUTER:
Routers are devices which connect two or more networks that use similar protocol. A router
consists of hard ware and software. Hard ware can be a computer is specific device. Software
consists of special management program that controls flow of data between networks. Routers
operate at a network layer of O.S.I model.
Routers use logical and physical address to connect two or more logically separate network.
They make this connection by organizing the large network into logical network segment
(sometimes small sub network or sub nets). Each of these sub nets is given a logical address.
Data is grouped into packets or block of data.
Routers are used to segment LAN’s that have become so large to conserve the network
bandwidth. Router allows filtering of data so called smart gateway.
Fig. - Router
13. GATEWAY:
Gateways are devices which connect two are more networks that use different protocols. A
gateway is used to convert two different environments, such as Frame Relay Network & an X.25
network. For e.g. a gate way can receive email messages in one format in convert them into
another format. Gateway can operate at all seven layer of OSI model.
They are similar in function to routers but they are more powerful and intelligent devices. Since
Gateway perform data conversion so they are lower in speed. Gateway is very expensive device.
Fig.-Gateway
14. ROUTER TECHNOLOGY MULTIPLEXER:
High-speed signal routing is Procom’s focus within the Silicon Switch™ product family such as
Signal Switch IC and Multiplexers. Our patented Charge Pump technology provides the highest
signal integrity and achieves the most efficient and clear signal routing for data rates up to
10.1325 Gbps.In systems of increasing complexity, modularization is an essential procedure for
allowing timely development.
Modularization however relies on the ability of interconnecting the modules into complete
systems. Networks on chip are an emerging paradigm for on-chip communication which
simplifies the design of large systems and provides a scalable solution for connecting the on chip
processing elements,
memories and peripherals. As the interconnect has an increasing influence on the overall
performance of the design, optimizing the networks on chip is an important direction of research.
The amount of allocated resources obviously has a direct influence on the achieved performance,
however it is also of major importance how efficiently the available resource are used, as the
simple increase in path width or router count also has the negative effect of increasing the area.
From large-packet-switched networks we have learned that a major limit on efficiency is
represented by congestion, while in circuit-switched networks the limitation consists of blocking
during allocation and underutilizing the allocated channels.
Fig.- Multiplexer
15. NETWORK SWITCHES:
A switch is an internetworking device used to manage bandwidth on a large network.
Switches divide network into what is known as a virtual LAN or VLAN. Switches use a
combination of software and hardware to switch packet between computer and other devices
on the N/W.
This software is the switch operating system and because switch offer a high density of
connection ports, they can easily replace hubs on the network this means that each computer
on the N/w can be connected to its own port to the switch, When the comp. are directly
connected to the switch, The switch can supply each of the comp. with a dedicated amount
of bandwidth.
For ex: Say users are on a 100 Mbps Ethernet N/W via a switch. Each user can realize a
bandwidth of 100 Mbps and thus have to compute for a bandwidth the way comp. do on a
N/W via a Hub because each port on the switch has a dedicated 100 Mbps this is why
switches are rapidly replacing hubs. Switches also replaced bridges as the internetworking
devices for conserving network bandwidth and expanding LANs into larger corporate
internetworks.
Fig.- Switches
16. SUMMARY
NICs supply the interface between a computer and the networking medium
–
When sending data, a NIC reformats outgoing data from the parallel form that
arrives through the computer’s bus to the serial form used over most media; to
receive data, the process is reversed
NICs have options that must be set for an adapter to make a working network connection
(usually PnP).NIC’s edge connector must match the PC slot.Many motherboards have integrated
NICs.Network adapters can have a profound effect on overall network performance.When
purchasing a network adapter, consider the following checklist: bus width, bus type, memory
transfer, special features (such as security), bus mastering, and vendor factors (such as
support).When purchasing a wireless NIC, keep in mind the Wi-Fi standard you want to use.
Driver software permits a NIC to communicate with a computer’s operating system
–
NIC driver configuration can be auto-configured, or it might require setting some
options

19. Answer the following questions.
(Questions for short notes)
1)Write one of the following characteristics is true regarding the use of hubs and switches?
Ans. Switches increase the number of collisions domains in the network. Switches that are
configured with VLANS will reduce the size of the collision domains by increasing the number
of collision domains in a network, but making them smaller than that of one big flat network.
2) When comparing and contrasting the similarities and differences between bridges and
switches, which of the following are valid satements?
Ans. Both bridges and switches build the bridge table by listening to incoming frames and
examining the source MAC address in the frame. Switches are multiport bridges that allow you
to create multiple broadcast domains. Each broadcast domain is like a distinct virtual bridge
within a switch.
3) The LAN needs are expanding at the CertKiller corporate office, which is quickly growing.
You are instructed to enlarge the area covered by a single LAN segment on the CertKiller
network.
Ans. A hub simply repeats the electrical signal and makes no attempt to interpret the electrical
signal (layer 1) as a LAN frame (Layer 2). So, a hub actually performs OSI layer 1 functions,
repeating an electrical signal, whereas a switch performs OSI layer 2 functions, actually
interpreting Ethernet header information, particularly addresses, to make forwarding decisions.
Hubs can be used to increase the number of stations that can be supported on a LAN. Because
the repeater does not interpret what the bits mean, but does examine and generate electrical
signals, a repeater is considered to operrate at Layer 1. Repeaters can be used to physically
extend the LAN to greater distances.
