Network Processor: December 2004 Archives
Intel have an article on their website that can be downloaded free gratis
Kounavis et al have written a paper describing the design, implementation and evaluation of NetBind, a high performance, flexible and scalable binding tool for dynamically constructing data paths in network processor-based routers. The methodology that underpins NetBind balances the flexibility of network programmability against the need to process and forward packets at line speeds.
