Abstract

            This project is part of the III Network SoC project, targeting at related algorithms of packet classification and Network Address Translation (NAT) that can be adapted to network SoC on SOHO or SMB gateways. The algorithms will be implemented and verified in Soft Intellectual Property (Soft IP) in terms of software or behavior model description, which has the advantages of cross-platform, technology-independence, and suitable for the early stages of algorithm design and verification. Because the Soft IP has considered the characteristics of hardware circuit, it is easier and quicker to turn Soft IP into Hardware Intellectual Property (Hard IP).
