PPCI
Primary PCI, a 64-bit PCI bus operating at 33 or 66 MHz. This bus connects the
ingress and egress IXP28XX network processor to the master and slave PCI-PCI
bridge chips.

standards
SF
Switch Fabric
SHA-1
Secure Hash Algorithm 1
SPCI
Secondary PCI, a 32-bit bus operating at 33 MHz
SPI-4
Interface for packet and cell transfer between a physical layer (PHY) device and
a link layer device (the IXP28XX network processor), for aggregate bandwidths of
OC-192 ATM and Packet over SONET/SDH (POS), as well as 10 Gb/s Ethernet
applications.
Striping
Hardware interleaving of addresses to provide balanced access to all populated
channels; the interleave size is 128 bytes. Interleaving helps to maintain
utilization of available bandwidth by spreading consecutive accesses to multiple
channels. The interleaving is done in the hardware so that the three channels
appear to software as a single contiguous memory space.
