    摘要: The present invention relates to a method and system for storing a plurality of multi-field classification rules in a computer system. Each multi-field classification rule includes a rule specification that itself includes a plurality of fields and a plurality of field definitions corresponding to the fields. The method of the present invention includes providing a virtual rule table, where the table stores a plurality of field definitions, and for each of the plurality of multi-field classification rules, compressing the rule specification by replacing at least one field definition with an associated index into the virtual rule table. The method also includes storing each of the compressed rule specifications and the virtual rule table in a shared segment of memory.

    摘要: Novel data structures, methods and apparatus for finding the longest prefix match search when searching tables with variable length patterns or prefixes. To find the exact match or the best matching prefix, patterns have to be compared a bit at a time until the exact or first: match is found. This requires “n” number of comparisons or memory accesses to identify the closest matching pattern. The trees are built in such a way that the matching result is guaranteed to be a best match, whether it is an exact match or a longest prefix match. Using the trail of all the birds and associated prefix lengths enables determination of the correct prefix result from the trail. By construction, the search tree provides the best matching prefix at or after the first compare during walking of the trail or tree.

    摘要: Novel data structures, methods and apparatus for finding a full match between a search pattern and a pattern stored in a leaf of the search tree. A key is input, a hash function is performed on the key, a direct table (DT) is accessed, and a tree is walked through pattern search control blocks (PSCBS) until reaching a leaf. The search mechanism uses a set of data structures that can be located in a few registers and regular memory, and then used to build a Patricia tree structure that can be manipulated by a relatively simple hardware macro. Both keys and corresponding information needed for retrieval are stored in the Patricia tree structure. The hash function provides an n->n mapping of the bits of the key to the bits of the hash key. The data structure that is used to store the hash key and the related information in the tree is called a leaf. Each leaf corresponds to a single key that matches exactly with the input key. The leaf contains the key as well as additional information. The length of the leaf is programmable, as is the length of the key. The leaf is stored in random access memory and is implemented as a single memory entry. If the key is located in the direct table then it is called a direct leaf.

    摘要: A mechanism controls a multi-thread processor so that when a first thread encounters a latency event for a first predefined time interval temporary control is transferred to an alternate execution thread for duration of the first predefined time interval and then back to the original thread. The mechanism grants full control to the alternate execution thread when a latency event for a second predefined time interval is encountered. The first predefined time interval is termed short latency event whereas the second time interval is termed long latency event.

    摘要: A network processor utilizes protocol processor units (PPUs) to provide instruction communication for the network. Each PPU includes a core language processor (CLP). Each CLP contains general purpose registers and includes a coprocessor that contains scalar registers and array registers. The CLP controls and instructs a plurality of coprocessors that run in parallel with the CLP. Each coprocessor is a specialized hardware assist engine having direct access to the CLP registers and arrays through two sets of interface signals, a coprocessor execution interface and a coprocessor data interface.

    摘要: A procedure is used to provide data structures that handle large numbers of active data entries and a high rate of additions and deletions of active entries. The procedure utilizes one or more of the following modifications. Timers are removed from individual session table entries and are linked via pointers. Bilateral links are established between the session table and the timer structure. Aging/timer checks are applied to the timer control block (TCB). A chain of TCBs, optionally including an excess of blocks, may be used along with packing of multiple TCBs into a single memory location. This excess of blocks permits a terminated session to continue to occupy a TCB until the timer process progresses to that block location in the chain of blocks.
