Q: Why does Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) no longer include optimized libraries for the Intel® IXP4XX ( IXP) network processor product line?
A:  Due to limited demand for IXP support, we decided that our development resources could better serve our customers by focusing on processors with higher interest.  We gradually reduced support for Intel IXP in previous versions of Intel IPP and removed the libraries in the 6.0 release.

Q: I bought Intel IPP; will I continue to get support for IXP?
A:  When you purchase any Intel Software Products including Intel IPP, you’re eligible to get technical support for one year.  To find out more information about your support status, you can run either “iplid.exe” or “chklic.exe” in the Intel IPP root directory \tools\support to find your current license information. You can either submit questions via Intel Premier Support, or you may use the latest re-designed Intel Software Network with knowledge bases and Forums to share product knowledge.  Please visit Intel IPP Knowledge Base and Forum for more information.

Q: Can I still download the older version of IPP for the Intel IXP4XX product line of network processors?
A:  If you still hold a valid Intel IPP product license, and need to download Intel IPP v5.3 for the Intel IXP4XX product line of network processors, please contact us via Intel® Premier Support

Q: Can I continue to use Intel IPP for IXP?
A: As long as you or your company holds a valid Intel IPP product license, you can continue to use it.

Q: Can I or my company continue distributing Intel IPP for IXP based implementations?
A: As long as you or your company holds a valid Intel IPP commercial product license, you may continue to distribute your products for use on IXP processors.
