The LSI Advanced PayloadPlus® (APP) family of software-programmable network processors offers fully integrated, single-chip solutions with all the data-path and control-path functions running at wire speed, ranging from 300 Mbits/s to 5 Gbits/s. The entire family is software-compatible. The PayloadPlus product family represents a technological revolution for intelligent communication equipment with Layer 2 and above processing capabilities. LSI products focus on the wire-speed datapath functions and work in conjunction with physical interface devices, a low-speed microprocessor, and backplane fabric offerings for networking and communication applications.

The Advanced PayloadPlus 100 (APP100) is an AAL2 SAR Co-processor designed to work with the APP5 and APP3 Series Network Processor to allow system designers more function and flexibility in support of programmable high-speed voice and data traffic.

The LSI Advanced PayloadPlus APP300 family of software-programmable network processors offer a fully integrated, single-chip solution with all the data path and control-path functions at wire speed.

LSI is extending its market and technology leadership with the next generation of highly integrated network processors, the APP550 and APP530. These are standalone network processors that provide Layer 2 and above processing, segmentation and reassembly (SAR) and traffic management functions for edge/access and multiservice applications.

The APP650 is a full-duplex OC-48c NPU designed to work with LSI framers and switch fabrics to for next-generation terabit switches and routers.

The APP2200 family is a new generation of Advanced Communication Processors with the features and performance (300 Mbps up to 3 Gbps) to enable low-cost and scalable solutions for residential and small-to-medium business gateways and routers.

Using LSI proven best-in-class communication processor technology, the APP3300 has the features and performance to enable low-cost and scalable solutions for telecom equipment applications.
