2Deciding Your Development Path
This document details several ways to get up and running with Linux* and the Intel® Atom®
Processor C2000 Product Family for Communications Infrastructure Software for Linux*
Software. Select one of the following options:
•Run using Wind River Linux*
•See Section 2.1 for an overview of this development path.
•Install and run on Fedora* 17
•Use this option to evaluate the software using Fedora* 17.
•BuildacustomizedSDKimage;usethisoptiontobuildyourownLinux* imageusing Yocto*.
This requires knowledge of the Yocto* build process.

2.1.3 Wind River Intelligent Network Platform
Wind River® Intelligent Network Platform enables equipment providers to build high
performance, high value products that accelerate, analyze, and secure network trafficand
applications. The platform is an integrated and optimized software system consistingof the
critical run-time components and life cycle development tools neededto build intelligent
network elements. Experience the performance gains:
•Up to 1,100% faster IP forwarding than native Linux*
•Up to 500% faster UDP or TCP termination than native Linux*
•Up to 28x reduced latency for deep packet inspection pattern matching
Wind River Intelligent Network Platform is architected to give our customers maximum
scalability and flexibility to build faster, smarter, and more secure products. The platform
integrates the key software components to design high-performance, intelligent network
applications in a consolidated management and data plane system. Customers can utilize the
entire platform or, in some cases, interchange and extend individual components with existing
in-house technologies.

•Substantially reduced data planenetwork application latency
Software is at the forefront of defining the next-generation network. Not only can it
significantly improve network performance but it can also provide the built-in intelligence
necessaryto delivernew services, greatersecurity, and evenmore valuethan ever before. Wind
River Intelligent Network Platform provides the following:
•Deep packet inspection for pattern-matching use cases such as intrusionprevention
•Smart acceleration of security protocols for use in secure clouds and VPNs
•Cost savings through systemconsolidation
Wind River has done the heavy lifting for you. Wind River Intelligent Network Platformincludes
all the components necessary tobuild anultra-fast, highly intelligent networkproduct-and all
the software necessary to consolidate management plane and data plane applicationsintoone
system,savingcapital expenditures.The platformcansavedevelopment teams several years of
engineering effort to build, test, and engineer a similar solution with the following features:
•Comprehensive management plane and data plane software system, including Linux*, Intel®
DPDK, layer 3 and 4 accelerated network protocols, and pattern matching libraries, with
extensibility for other DPI engines
