On January 27th, The Linley Group held the first seminar in the Linley Tech 2009 series. This one-day event focused on network processors, packet processors, transport processors, and PHY components for applications such as Ethernet aggregation, Ethernet access, and packet-optical transport.

The seminar opened with a presentation from Bob Wheeler, senior analyst at The Linley Group, highlighting Carrier Ethernet design trends and providing context for later presentations. The remainder of the program included subjects ranging from access designs to 100G Ethernet designs. Relevant chips that were discussed included network processors (NPUs), Carrier Ethernet switch chips, and optical mapper/PHY devices.
