Abstract
Methods and systems for an Ethernet IP phone chip are provided. In this regard, data may be received via a first port of an Ethernet switch in the Ethernet IP phone chip, and the port(s) via which the data is forwarded may be determined based on characteristics of the data. The Ethernet switch may receive data from a network via a first port, and communicate the received data to one or more on-chip interfaces via a second port. The on-chip interfaces may process the received data and may communicate video contained in the data to an off-chip video processing device. The Ethernet IP phone chip may receive video data from an off-chip video processing device via one or more on-chip interfaces, packetize the video data into one or more Ethernet packets; and communicate the packet(s) onto a network link via the Ethernet switch.
