Addressing security concerns in 4G Long-Term Evolution (LTE) backhaul networks, Elliptic Technologies unveils the SPP-230 IPsec security protocol processor. The security engine accelerates IPsec packet processing to allow for multi-gigabit/s performance by providing complete IPv6 ESP and AH-packet transform support. Essentially a scalable and cost-effective engine, SPP-230 meets the security requirements for wireless backhaul encryption over IP/Ethernet networks with numerous features including scatter-gather direct memory access (DMA), quality of service (QoS) for enhanced traffic management support, and virtualization to allow sharing between multiple CPUs. The engine targets system-on-a-chip (SoC) suppliers for mobile basestations, cell site routers, and gateways.
