1.4Overview
The IXP45X/IXP46X network processors are highly integrated devices, capable of interfacing with most common industry standard peripherals, required for high- performance control applications.
Note: This document discusses all features supported on the Intel® IXP465 Network Processor. A subset of these features is supported by certain processors in the IXP45X/ IXP46X product line, such as the Intel® IXP460 or Intel® IXP455 network processors. For details on feature support listed by processor, see the Intel® IXP45X and Intel® IXP46X Product Line of Network Processors Datasheet.
Some of the key features of the IXP45X/IXP46X network processors, when used as a
