  • Method and apparatus for performing network processing functions
    Patent number: 8094670
    Abstract: A novel network architecture that integrates the functions of an internet protocol (IP) router into a network processing unit (NPU) that resides in a host computer's chipset such that the host computer's resources are perceived as separate network appliances. The NPU appears logically separate from the host computer even though, in one embodiment, it is sharing the same chip.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2007
    Date of Patent: January 10, 2012
    Assignee: NVIDIA Corporation
