Abstract
Streamed multimedia is becoming common on the Internet as the

bandwidths increase for end-users. To stream data with high

bitrates to many concurrent users, servers are needed that can handle

these extreme loads. Implementing servers in clusters to be able to meet

demands has proved to be a good strategy, providing scalability and performance. One commercial actor that has done this

successfully is nCube. Their n4x solution is a server

cluster based on a hypercube interconnection topology, and their

reported server performance is promising. However, the use of

special hardware for offloading routing increases the cost for

deploying this system. Network processing units have many similar

properties to the special hardware used by nCube. They are fully

programmable and optimized for networking tasks. In this thesis, we

start by charting the functionality and capabilities of the IXP2400 network

processor by implementing a series of test applications. Using

knowledge gained from this exploration, the design and implementation

of a video server hypercube prototype is done. We present an evaluation of the IXP2400 hardware

platform based on the test applications. Our video server cube

prototype is also presented and evaluated.
