The present invention reduces the cost of a minimally configured network device by providing a network device with a distributed switch fabric. Such a network device locates a portion of the switch fabric functionality on each forwarding card allowing the minimal network device configuration to include less than the entire switch fabric functionality. The cost of the minimal configuration is, therefore, reduced allowing network service providers to more quickly recover the initial cost of the network device. As new services are requested, additional functionality, including both forwarding cards and universal port cards may be added to the network device to handle the new requests, and the fees for the new services may be applied to the cost of the additional functionality. Consequently, the cost of the network device more closely tracks the service fees received by network providers.

Wideband audio codec (WAC) improves the voice quality in the hand-free communication system. It allows the telephone conversation to sound more natural and subtle. In this paper, the G.729.1 WAC is ported to Altera Nios II platform and then optimized with dedicated hardware FIR filter and MDCT accelerators to improve the performance for faster operation. The hardware FIR filter and MDCT accelerators are each designed as a customized Altera on-chip Avalon bus device to work with the Nios II embedded processor. The cores are implemented in Verilog and incorporated with the Aletra SOPC Builder. It was simulated with Altera ModelSim. The performance of the WAC with the software only and that with the hardware FIR filterbank and MDCT were compared. The embedded WAC system was implemented in the Stratix II DSP Development Kit with Altera Quartus II and Embedded Development toolset. The system currently works at 100MHz and utilizes 48% of the Altera Stratix II EP2S60 FPGA logic cell resources.
