Router Blade Development: Key member of hardware and software team responsible for designing and implementing a router blade for the Catalyst 5000 switch. Architecture achieved performance requirements for CPU based forwarding, realized inter-vlan routing and fallback bridging, and supported ASIC based IP switching (in a concurrent development effort). Integrated the full IOS feature set into the chassis. Developed software to schedule DMA engines, device drivers to support inter-processor communications, and message processing action routines. Designed and developed the code responsible for booting the module, requiring messaging between five asynchronous CPUs.
