    摘要: Apparatus and method for storing network frame data which is to be modified. A plurality of buffers stores the network data which is arranged in a data structure identified by a frame control block and buffer control block. A plurality of buffer control blocks associated with each buffer storing the frame data establishes a sequence of the buffers. Each buffer control block has data for identifying a subsequent buffer within the sequence. The first buffer is identified by a field of a frame control block as well as the beginning and ending address of the frame data. The frame data can be modified without rewriting the data to memory by altering the buffer control block and/or frame control block contents without having to copy or rewrite the data in order to modify it.

    摘要: A pipeline configuration is described for use in network traffic management for the hardware scheduling of events arranged in a hierarchical linkage. The configuration reduces costs by minimizing the use of external SRAM memory devices. This results in some external memory devices being shared by different types of control blocks, such as flow queue control blocks, frame control blocks and hierarchy control blocks. Both SRAM and DRAM memory devices are used, depending on the content of the control block (Read-Modify-Write or ‘read’ only) at enqueue and dequeue, or Read-Modify-Write solely at dequeue. The scheduler utilizes time-based calendars and weighted fair queueing calendars in the egress calendar design. Control blocks that are accessed infrequently are stored in DRAM memory while those accessed frequently are stored in SRAM.

    摘要: A method, a system, and a computer program product is disclosed for identifying a quality of service (QoS) classification of a packet in a network by a network processor. The method comprising: providing a table wherein a priority value with a maximum of N values is used as an index into the table to retrieve a QoS classification having a maximum of M values with M less than N; receiving a data packet in a stream of data packets; extracting at least two priority indicator values from the packet; converting the at least two priority indicator values into a priority value; utilizing the priority value as an index into the table; extracting the entry in the table corresponding to the priority value as the QoS classification of the packet; and utilizing the QoS classification for subsequent processing of the data packet.

    摘要: Disclosed a method for validating a data packet by a network processor supporting a first, network protocol and a second network protocol and utilizing shared hardware. The network processor receives a data packet: identities a network packet protocol for the data packet; and processes the data packet according to the network packet protocol comprising: updating a first register with a first partial packet length specific to the first network protocol; updating a second register with a second partial packet length specific to the second network protocol; and updating a third register with a first checksum computed from fields independent of the network protocol. The method produces a second checksum utilizing a function that combines values from the first register, the second register, and the third register. The method validates the data packet by comparing the data packet checksum to the second checksum.
