Zusammenfassung:	Various embodiments provide for a system that integrates 64 bit ARM cores and a switch on a single chip. The RISC style processors use highly optimized sets of instructions rather than the specialized set of instructions found in other architectures (e.g., x86). The system also includes multiple high bandwidth ports that enable multi-ported virtual appliances to be built using a single chip. The virtual appliances are software implemented versions of the physical appliances that are installed with servers to provide network services such routing and switching services, firewall, VPN, SSL, and other security services, as well as load balancing. The virtual appliances are implemented in software and the system can add new virtual appliances, or change the functions performed by existing virtual appliances flexibly without having to install or remove physical hardware.
