The EIP-97 is a Cryptographic Engine designed to offload the Host processor to improve the speed of IPsec ESP, IPsec AH, SRTP, SSL, TLS, DTLS and MACsec protocol operations and reduce power in cost-sensitive networking products, such as: Femtocell, DSL routers, SOHO routers, Cable Modems and VPN Appliances. Besides being optimized for small packet processing the EIP-97 is designed for integration into multiprocessor systems.
