Responding to ever-escalating requirements for performance, flexibility, and economy, the networking industry has opted to build products around network processors. To help meet the formidable challenges of this emerging field, the editors of this volume created the first Workshop on Network Processors, a forum for scientists and engineers to discuss latest research in the architecture, design, programming, and use of these devices. This series of volumes contains not only the results of the annual workshops but also specially commissioned material that highlights industry's latest network processors.
Like its predecessor volume, Network Processor Design: Principles and Practices, Volume 2 defines and advances the field of network processor design. Volume 2 contains 20 chapters written by the field's leading academic and industrial researchers, with topics ranging from architectures to programming models, from security to quality of service.
·Describes current research at UNC Chapel Hill, University of Massachusetts, George Mason University, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Washington University in St. Louis, Linköpings Universitet, IBM, Kayamba Inc., Network Associates, and University of Washington.
·Reports the latest applications of the technology at Intel, IBM, Agere, Motorola, AMCC, IDT, Teja, and Network Processing Forum.

The objective of this second volume on network processor (NP) design is the same as that of the first: to survey the latest research and practices in the design, programming, and application of network processors. The term network processor is used here in the most generic sense and is meant to encompass everything from task-specific processors—such as classification, encryption, and traffic management engines—to more general-purpose and programmable packet or communications processors. In all of these, the objective is programmable packet processing whether this be on a high-speed core router line card or on a comparably low-speed device such as consumer cable or DSL gateway.
The main theme of Volume 1 was on meeting the real-time processing performance required for high-speed networking. While technology advances continue to enable increasingly faster networks, the telecommunications downturn has slowed the rate of deployment of these new technologies as the oversupply of network capacity built during the boom years is brought in line with demand. This, in turn, is changing the focus of
