Hello David Mentre, Thank you for your reply. To clarify my question clearly: Actually, we would like to get an IXP2XXX for our development project. But due to the high cost and budget constraint, we had to reuse our resource which is IXP1200. One way to do it is by developed our work on IXP1200 first and later if we got the budget, we might migration our work over to the new machine (IXP2XXX). I don't think we would like to rewrite the code from scratch as this would waste our effort. It's possible to do so without rewriting the code and still working in the same application?

Have any one tried to migrate their source code from IXP12XX to IXP2XXX? If yes, do I need to make a lot of changes to the code after migration?

We have not migrated an application but decided to rewrote it completely from scratch. While the assembler is pretty similar, Intel has made a number of architectural enhancements and to exploit them it is needed to rethink one's application. YMMV. We are not using Intel micro-blocks (except for reception and transmission blocks).
