    摘要: Disclosed is a method and system 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; identifies 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 system produces a second checksum utilizing a function that combines values from the first register, the second register, and the third register. The system validates the data packet by comparing the data packet checksum to the second checksum.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for 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. In a given processing period, a source is selected in a manner that maintains fairness in the selection process. A corresponding sink is selected for the selected source based on processing efficiency. If, due to assignment constraints, no sink is available for the selected source, the selected source is retained for selection in the next scheduling period, to maintain fairness. In this case, to optimize efficiency, a most efficient currently available sink is identified and a source for providing work to that sink is selected.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for 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. In a given processing period, sinks that are available to receive work are identified and sources qualified to send work to the available sinks are determined taking into account any assignment constraints. A single source is selected from an overlap of the qualified sources and sources having work available. This selection may be made using a hierarchical source scheduler for processing subsets of supported sources simultaneously in parallel. A sink to which work from the selected source may be assigned is selected from available sinks qualified to receive work from the selected source.

    摘要: Mechanisms for processing of communications between data processing devices are provided. With the mechanisms of the illustrative embodiments, a set of techniques that enables sustaining media speed by distributing transmit and receive-side processing over multiple processing cores is provided. In addition, these techniques also enable designing multi-threaded network interface controller (NIC) hardware that efficiently hides the latency of direct memory access (DMA) operations associated with data packet transfers over an input/output (I/O) bus. Multiple processing cores may operate concurrently using separate instances of a communication protocol stack and device drivers to process data packets for transmission with separate hardware implemented send queue managers in a network adapter processing these data packets for transmission. Multiple hardware receive packet processors in the network adapter may be used, along with a flow classification engine, to route received data packets to appropriate receive queues and processing cores for processing.

    摘要: A communication network used to link information handling systems together utilizes a switching network to transmit data among senders and receivers. Each individual packet of data is described and controlled by an FCB. The bandwidth associated with the storing and distribution of data is optimized by chaining the data packets in different types of queues, or operating without chaining outside a queue. When a frame is in an output queue, the third word contains an RFCBA for egress of the frame to a line port, and an MCID for ingress from an output queue to a switch port. The RFCBA and the MCID have multicast capabilities. The format does not require a third word when a frame is in an input queue.

    摘要: A method for sequencing delivery of information packets from a router having several processing elements to a receiving processing installation, wherein delivery of the packets must be completed in the order the packets arrive at the router. A linked list of packets is formed in the order they are received at the router, and each packet fragmented into successive fragments. Each fragment is processed at the router. The last fragment of each packet in each linked list is labeled with the sequence in which the packet was received, and enqueued in the order labeled for each last fragment on each linked list. Each fragment of each packet is delivered as processed, except the last fragment of each packet on its linked list to the receiving processor installation, and thereafter, transmitting the final fragment of each packet after processing only if that fragment is at the head of the queue.

    摘要: A technique is provided to either insert or delete a leaf in a Patricia tree having a direct table and a plurality of PSCB's which decode portions of the pattern of a leaf in the tree without shutting down the functioning of the tree. A leaf having a pattern is identified as either a leaf to be inserted or deleted. Using the pattern, the tree is walked once to identify the location of the leaf to be deleted or the location where the leaf is to be inserted. If it is a delete operation, the leaf to be deleted is identified and deleted, and any relevant PSCB modified, if necessary. If it is an insert operation, the tree is walked a second time to insert the leaf and reform or create any PSCB in the chain that needs to be reformed or created. The technique also is applicable to inserting or deleting a prefix of a prefix.

    摘要: A tree structure and method to organize routing information for processing messages within a network, each message being associated with a search key of “n” bits. The processing determines where to send the message next. The structure has a direct table (DT) of 2x entries for decoding the first “x” bits of the search key, and one or more pattern search control blocks (PSCB's), each having 2m entries for decoding subsequent groups of “m” bits. Each PSCB entry and DT entry includes a pointer to data associated with a specific route, if at this point a specific routing table entry is a potential match to the search key or a pointer to a subsequent PSCB if the end of a search trail is not identified. Each PSCB entry DT entry also indicates that the search has been resolved to the end of the search trail.
