Abstract

In the past few decades the semiconductor industry has undergone a revolution. Initially, embedded devices were thought to have very limited capability, both in terms of processing power and memory. Most embedded devices were designed using microcontrollers rather than actual processors. Now a days the industry focus is mainly on the producing devices with raw processing power which can be used as a general purpose device or as an embedded networking device. This chapter will give an overview of networking and how the modern microcontroller and network processor devices are used in practical deployment. This chapter also allows users to get an overview of the network software development trends.
