    摘要: A network device for implementing mirroring on packets. The network device includes a plurality of ports, each of which is at least one of an ingress port, an egress port and a mirror-to port. The network device also includes processing means for supporting a plurality of mirroring types. Each of the ingress port, egress port and mirror-to port includes at least one register for supporting the plurality of mirroring types. To support mirroring at each of the ingress port, egress port and mirror-to port predefined bits in the at least one register are set. When an incoming packet is received, the predefined bits are examined to determine which of the plurality of mirroring types to apply to the packet.

    摘要: Methods and systems for processing packets in data network using multistage classification are disclosed. An example method for processing packets includes receiving a data packet at a first processing stage and examining the packet at the first processing stage to determine a first attribute of the packet. Based on the first attribute, a first classification is assigned to the packet. In the example method, the packet and the first classification are communicated from the first processing stage to a second processing stage and the packet is examined at the second processing stage to determine a second attribute of the packet. Based on the second attribute, a second classification is assigned to the packet. The example method further includes processing the packet based on the first classification and the second classification.

    摘要: A network device for processing packets includes an ingress module for performing switching functions on an incoming packet, a memory management unit for storing packets and performing resource checks on each packet and an egress module for performing packet modification and transmitting a modified packet to an appropriate egress port. The egress module is configured to send an unmodified version of the incoming packet to an ingress mirrored-to-port when an ingress port, upon which the incoming packet is received, is configured to mirror packets received by the ingress port.
