    Abstract: A network processor includes first communication protocol ports that each support ‘M’ minimum size packet data path traffic on ‘N’ lanes at ‘S’ Gigabits per second (Gbps) and traffic with different communication protocol units on ‘n’ additional lanes at ‘s’ Gbps. The first communication protocol ports support access to an external coprocessor using parsing logic located in each of the first communication protocol ports. The parsing logic, during a parsing period, is configured to send a request to the external coprocessor at reception of a ‘M’ size packet and to receive a response from the external coprocessor. The parsing logic sends a request maximum ‘m’ size byte word to the external coprocessor on one of the additional lanes and receives a response maximum ‘m’ size byte word from the external coprocessor on the one of the additional lanes while complying with the equation N×S/M=

    Abstract: IEEE 802.1Q and Enhanced Transmission Selection provide only eight different traffic classes that may be used to control bandwidth in a particular physical connection (or link). Instead of relying only on these eight traffic classes to manage bandwidth, the embodiments discussed herein disclose using an Enhanced Transmission Selection scheduler that permits a network device to set the bandwidth for an individual virtual LAN. Allocating bandwidth in a port based on a virtual LAN ID permits a network device to allocate bandwidth to, e.g., millions of unique virtual LANs. Thus, this technique may increase the granular control of the network fabric and its performance.

    Abstract: An assignment constraint matrix is used in assigning work, such as data packets, from a plurality of sources, such as data queues in a network processing device, to a plurality of sinks, such as processor threads in the network processing device. The assignment constraint matrix is implemented as a plurality of qualifier matrixes adapted to operate simultaneously in parallel. Each of the plurality of qualifier matrixes is adapted to determine sources in a subset of supported sources that are qualified to provide work to a set of sinks based on assignment constraints. The determination of qualified sources may be based sink availability information that may be provided for a set of sinks on a single chip or distributed on multiple chips.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for processing multiple levels of data in system security approaches are disclosed. In one embodiment, a first set and a second set of resources are selected to iteratively and independently reverse multiple levels of format conversions on the payload portions of a data unit from a first file and a data unit from a second file, respectively. The first file and the second file are associated with a first transport connection and a second transport connection, respectively. Upon completion of the aforementioned reversal operations, the payload portions of a first reversed data unit and a second reversed data unit, which correspond to the data unit of the first file and the data unit of the second file, respectively, are inspected for suspicious patterns prior to any aggregation of the data units of the first file or the second file.

    Abstract: A mechanism for offloading the management of receive queues in a split (e.g. split socket, split iSCSI, split DAFS) stack environment, including efficient queue flow control and TCP/IP retransmission support. An Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) creates receive work queues and completion queues that are utilized by an Internet Protocol Suite Offload Engine (IPSOE) and the ULP to transfer information and carry out send operations. As consumers initiate receive operations, receive work queue entries (RWQEs) are created by the ULP and written to the receive work queue (RWQ). The ISPOE is notified of a new entry to the RWQ and it subsequently reads this entry that contains pointers to the data that is to be received. After the data is received, the IPSOE creates a completion queue entry (CQE) that is written into the completion queue (CQ). After the CQE is written, the ULP subsequently processes the entry and removes it from the CQE, freeing up a space in both the RWQ and CQ. The number of entries available in the RWQ are monitored by the ULP so that it does not overwrite any valid entries. Likewise, the IPSOE monitors the number of entries available in the CQ, so as not overwrite the CQ.
