networking and tele- com software development. Tality specializes in extending the spectrum of C-5 NPU interfaces and offers a POS-PHY/UTOPIA interface adapter among other things. SUMMARY In this chapter, we reviewed Motorola's C-Port network processor family. We discussed in quite some detail the architecture of the family and looked at the C-5e as well as the company's Q-5 TMC and M-5 Channel Adapter. Motorola is the current market-share leader in network-processing sales. Regardless of what the rest of the market will do, it is a formidable player that combines world-class semiconductor expertise in both design and manufacturing as well as deep networking and commu- nications know-how, along with tremendous financial and engineering resources. Therefore, it is more than safe to bet that the company and its products will remain key players in the network-processing field for years to come. 4.
