摘要： This invention relates to the merging of data cells arriving at an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching node from data frames originating with a number of senders. As is standard in ATM networks, each originating frame is segmented into a series of cells each having Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and a Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI) in its header portion. On arrival at each switching node, the VCI of the first cell of a frame is overwritten by a new outgoing VCI value that is used for all other cells of the frame. Thus, the actual movement of each cell through the network is controlled only by the cell's VPI, whereas the VCI field is used only to distinguish frames from each other. A feature of the invention is that it can accommodate Early Packet Discard in a simple way by associated any discard indication determined for a frame with the outgoing VCI value which also applies to all cells of the entire frame.

摘要： The present invention is an apparatus that manages Packet-Discard at a switch in an ATM network. The apparatus includes a table having a number of table addresses (or indexes). Each table address stores a record for incoming data cells of a frame. The records indicate whether data cells of the frame are be discarded. The number of possible cell identifiers is greater than the number of table addresses. The apparatus also includes a processor unit which receives a data cell having a cell identifier. The processor unit determines a table key, based on the cell identifier such that the table key is within the range of the table addresses. The processor unit then searches a record in the table associated with the table key to determine whether the data cell is to be discarded.

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 and structure is provided for buffering data packets having a header and a remainder in a network processor system. The network processor system has a processor on a chip and at least one buffer on the chip. Each buffer on the chip is configured to buffer the header of the packets in a preselected order before execution in the processor, and the remainder of the packet is stored in an external buffer apart from the chip. The method comprises utilizing the header information to identify the location and extent of the remainder of the packet. The entire selected packet is stored in the external buffer when the buffer of the stored header of the given packet is full, and moving only the header of a selected packet stored in the external buffer to the buffer on the chip when the buffer on the chip has space therefor.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for sharing a communication used by a parser (parser path) in a network adapter of a network processor for sending requests for a process to be executed by an external coprocessor. The parser path is shared by processors of the network processor (software path) to send requests to the external processor. The mechanism uses for the software path a request mailbox comprising a control address and a data field accessed by MMIO for sending two types of messages, one message type to read or write resources and one message type to trigger an external process in the coprocessor and a response mailbox for receiving response from the external coprocessor comprising a data field and a flag field. The other processors of the network poll the flag until set and get the coprocessor result in the data field.

摘要： An assignment constraint matrix method and apparatus 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.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for merging in a network processor results from a parser and results from an external coprocessor providing processing support requested by said parser. The mechanism enqueues in a result queue both parser results needing to be merged with a coprocessor result and parser results which have no need to be merged with a coprocessor result. An additional queue is used to enqueue the addresses of the result queue where the parser results are stored. The result from the coprocessor is received in a simple response register. The coprocessor result is read by the result queue management logic from the response register and merged to the corresponding incomplete parser result read in the result queue at the address enqueued in the additional queue.

The HEA includes a host interface configured for communication with a multi-core processor over a processor bus. The host interface comprises a receive processing element including a receive processor, a receive buffer and a scheduler for dispatching packets from the receive buffer to the receive processor; a send processing element including a send processor and a send buffer; and a completion queue scheduler (CQS) for dispatching completion queue elements (CQE) from the head of the completion queue (CQ) to threads of the multi-core processor in a network node mode.
