    摘要： Certain Layer 3 protocol data frames propagated on a network are typically processed by a control point (CP) in a network switch. The logical bridging and routing functions required in this processing typically entail network device address look-ups in routing tables and address databases. Using the CP to perform these look-ups is expensive in terms of processor cycles and memory. To offload the CP, the bridging functions are performed a network processor in the switch. The network processor has specialized software and hardware enabling it to perform the required database look-ups faster and more efficiently than the CP.

    摘要： A multicast processor minimizes the software resource needed to process multicast protocol and broadcast protocol for bridges and routers in a network processor based environment. The multicast forwarding processor receives multicast and broadcast Layer 2/Layer 3/Layer 4 (L2/L3/L4) frames from a network processor. During reception, a frame layer flag, a unicast/multicast flag, and a frame position flag are set. A multitask forwarding table is accessed, and the frame, unicast/multicast, and frame position flags are stored and updated. The frame, unicast/multicast, and frame position flags are then sent to a frame forwarding processor. The L2/L3/L4 frames are routed to an L2 learning processor. The L2/L3/L4 frames are received from the frame forwarding processor, and the L2/L3/L4 frames are sent to an L3/L4 processor for frame header modification. The modified L2/L3/L4 frames are received from said L3/L4 processor, and the modified L2/L3/L4 frames are sent to an L2 filter processor.

    摘要： A system for controlling multicast traffic in a multiprocessing system is disclosed. The multiprocessing system includes a general-purpose processor, a plurality of network processors and a switch fabric. The system comprises a multicast identifier (MID) manager to manage a distributed database of MIDs. The distributed database includes at least one compound MID. The at least one compound MID structure further comprises a plurality of MIDs representing at least two multicast groups. The system also includes a MID processor which traverses the at least one compound MID and resolves it into its associated simple MIDs. Accordingly, the present invention provides for a system and method for efficiently controlling multicast transmissions when different types of multicast groups are to receive the multicast transmissions. In this system and method a new type of multicast identifier (MID) is provided, a compound MID. The compound MID is a single MID but references multiple MIDs. The system includes a MID manager which manages a distributed database of MIDS. Finally, the system and method includes at least one MID processor which accesses the appropriate compound MIDs and resolves them into the simple member MIDs to allow a router to provide the information to an appropriate bridge.
