The paper presents the design and the caracterization in nanoscale CMOS technology of a Network Interface (NI) for on-chip communication infrastructure with hardware support of advanced networking functionalities: store&forward transmission, error management, power management, ordering handling, security, QoS management, programmability, end-to-end protocol interoperability, remapping. The design has been conceived as a scalable architecture: the advanced features can be added on top of a basic NI core implementing data packetization and conversion of protocols, frequency and data size between the connected IP core and the on chip network. The NI can be configured to reach the desired trade-off between supported services and circuit complexity.
