The GigaNetIC project aims to develop high-speed components for networking applications based on massively parallel architectures. A central part of this project is the design, evaluation, and realization of a parameterizable network processing unit. In this paper we present a design methodology for network processors which encompasses the research areas from the application software down to the gate level of the chip. Key components of this holistic approach have been successfully applied to characteristic examples of architecture refinements.
