Design and synthesis of direct connected network devices controller

摘要

In this paper we present the design and synthesis of a Direct Connected Network Devices Controller (DCNDC) to provide substantial speedup for networking applications that eliminate the need of a computer to connect digital devices to a Local Area Network (LAN). Specifically, the first goal is to design DCNDC. The main function of DCNDC is to eliminate the operating system processing of network protocol stack in order to simplify the connection and improve network performance. It utilizes the concept of network channels in Ethernet. Upon completion of the DCNDC and validating its simulation outputs, we synthesize the design in FPGA chip. Performance measures like power consumption are computed using synthesis tools. If DCNDC is reducing the power consumption, network devices can be powered through a categoiv-5 network cable and eliminate the process of regular electrical power outlet installations and maintenance. So, DCNDC will also reduce the connection complexity in terms of device installation.
