Just one sich prediction is that by 2010, 95% of| Inteenet-connected deviess will not be computers. So if they are not computers, what will they be?

INTRODUCTION Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) were developed by a Department of Defense (DOD) research project to connect a number different noiworks designed by different vendors into a network of | networks. It was initially suecessful because it delivered a few basic services that everyone needs (file trusler, electronic mail, remote logon) across @ very large number of elient and server systems, Several computers ina small department can use TCPIIP (along with other protocols)on single LAN. The LP component provides routing from the department to the enterprise network, then to regional networks, and finally to the global Intemet. On the battlefield acommunications network will sustain damage, so the DOD designed TCP/IP t be robust and automatically recover from any node or phone line failure. This design allows the construction of very large networks with less central management. However, because of the automatic recovery, network problems can go undiagnosed anduncorrected for long periods of time. U NEED OF HARDWARE TCP/IP STACK In recent years, the interest of connecting even small devices to an existing IP network such as the global Intemet. In order to be able to communicate over the intemet, an implementation of TCP/IP hardware stack is needed A. Available Alternate Solution ‘There can be alternate solutions to FPGA. One popular solution isto usean 8 bit micro controller such as 1. Rabbit 2000) 2. AVRorPIC 3. Ethernet MAC such as aCS8900A, 4. RTLSO29AS, B. Linutations to Available Alternate Solution © A TCP/IP stack is normally written in C and ean be striped of features and ported to these resource limited ‘micro controllers. © Could only be implemented in bigger processors devices, such as Cold fire, Dragon ball or ARM based dloviees! © A little debate is brewing over its reliability and functionality, Hence tho only solution remains is the hardware implementation of TCP/IP stack. FPGAs as programmable hardware devices are particularly suitable to encompass both high processing speeds and flexibility to meet the quickly changing Internet. It runs elose to Tine speeds encapsulating and striping streams of data on the fly. Soit's very difficult to cause an attack on such systems. Almost impossible torun malicious code using principals of butter overruns. However being hardware makes it difficult to upgrade tostack.

CONCLUSIONS ‘The increasing popularity of the Internet stimulates an explosive growth ofthe data transmitted on the Intemet as swella the dramatic inerease ofthe transmission spoods. AS 1 result, the TCP/IP processing has become a bottleneck. TCPAP is close to 20 years old, but it has outlasted more ‘modern protocols and has become the de - facto standard for the internet. Proliferation of intemet enabled devices is predicted in thenext wave ofthe internet. As developers try to gettheirembedded devices on the ne, they face the issue of the networking problem exceeding the application problem, Ficld-programmable gate arrays (FPGAS), as programmable hardware devices, havebeen selected as the {arget design platform, Here we lave used Xilinx Virtex-IL Pro FPGA for implementation purpose, as it contains wo Power processors PC 405 hardeore and one micrablaze softcore processor.
