....as the motherboard, making it impossible to also plug a Pentium motherboard in the PCI bus. This means we cannot directly measure the StrongARM to Pentium performance across the PCI bus. 4 Instead, we measure the Pentium PCI performance using another programmable line card: the RAMiX PMC694 [9]. The RAMiX card interacts with the PCI bus in a way that is functionally identical to the StrongARM on the IXP1200 card, and so it gives us an accurate account of both how many packets per second we can push across the PCI bus, and how much impact this has on the Pentium. This setup cannot tell ....

....above, the only difference being that the processor may be able to reduce the classification time by taking advantage of work already done on the front end device. Second, a PC based router that has programmable line cards (e.g. those based on an Intel IXP1200 chip[11] or a RAMiX PMC694 module[19]) behaves in much the same way: the programmable line card performs classification and the subset of functions f that fit within its cycle budget, and the PC handles all other functions. Unlike the ASIC based configuration, however, the interface card (which has to deal with a collection of MAC ....
