Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA)

The QorIQ™ DPAA is a comprehensive architecture which integrates all aspects of packet processing in the SoC, addressing issues and requirements resulting from the multicore nature of QorIQ™ SoCs. The DPAA includes Cores, Network and packet I/O, Hardware offload accelerators. The infrastructure required to facilitate the flow of packets between the above.

The DPAA also addresses various performance related requirements especially those created by the high speed network I/O found on multicore SoCs such as the P4080.
