Custom ASIC combining VoIP and security IP

摘要

A custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (“ASIC”) that simultaneously processes data packets and multimedia packets, including Voice over Internet Protocol (“VoIP”) packets, that are transmitted by a plurality of clients connected to a central server over a network, such as the Internet, and that are also transmitted by the central server to the plurality of servers. The custom ASIC may be configured to restrict the receipt of both the multimedia and the data packets to selected, predetermined clients connected to the central server and prevent the receipt of such packets by non-authorized clients. A method of processing data packets and multimedia packets, including VoIP packets, and a system utilizing the custom ASIC are also provided.

1. An Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) comprising:
an integrator module configured to receive data packets via a first communication link and Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) packets via a second communication link, the integrator module being operable to integrate the data packets and the VoIP packets into a stream, the integrator module being operable to transmit the stream containing the data packets and the VoIP packets over a third communication link; an encoding and decoding module configured to receive the stream containing the data packets and the VoIP packets from the integrator module via the third communication link, the encoding and decoding module being operable to encode the data packets from the stream and the VoIP packets from the stream to generate an encoded stream containing encoded data packets and encoded VoIP packets; and an outgoing and routing module configured to receive the encoded stream and transmit the encoded stream to a central server.
