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： Systems and methods for implementing counters in a network processor with cost effective memory are disclosed. Embodiments include systems and methods for implementing counters in a network processor using less expensive memory such as DRAM. A network processor receives packets and implements accounting functions including counting packets in each of a plurality of flow queues. Embodiments include a counter controller that may increment counter values more than once during a R-M-W cycle. Each time a counter controller receives a request to update a counter during a R-M-W cycle that has been initiated for the counter, the counter controller increments the counter value received from memory. The incremented value is written to memory during the write cycle of the R-M-W cycle. A write disable unit disables writes that would otherwise occur during R-M-W cycles initiated for the counter during the earlier initiated R-M-W cycle.

摘要： Systems and methods for scheduling data packets in a network processor are disclosed. Embodiments provide a network processor that comprises a best-effort scheduler with a minimal calendar structure for addressing schedule control blocks. In one embodiment, a three-entry calendar structure provides for weighted best effort scheduling. Each of a plurality different flows has an associated schedule control block. Schedule control blocks are stored as linked lists in a last-in-first-out buffer. Each calendar entry is associated with a different linked list by storing in the calendar entry the address of the first-out schedule control block in the linked list. Each schedule control block has a counter and is assigned a weight according to the bandwidth priority of the flow to which the corresponding packet belongs. Each time a schedule control block is accessed from a last-in-first-out buffer storing the linked list, the scheduler generates a scheduling event and the counter of the schedule control block is incremented. When an incremented counter of a schedule control block equals its weight, the schedule control block is temporarily removed from further scheduling.

摘要： A system and method for computing a blind checksum includes a host Ethernet adapter (HEA) with a system for receiving a packet. The system determines whether or not the packet is in Internet protocol version four (IPv4). If the packet is not in IPv4, the system computes the checksum of the packet. If the packet is in IPv4, the system determines whether the packet is in transmission control protocol (TCP) or user datagram protocol (UDP). If the packet is not in either of TCP or UDP the system attaches a pseudo-header to the packet and computes the checksum of the packet based on the pseudo-header and the IPv4 standard.

摘要： Systems and methods for implementing multi-frame control blocks in a network processor are disclosed. Embodiments include systems and methods to reduce long latency memory access to less expensive memory such as DRAM. As a network processor in a network receives packets of data, the network processor forms a frame control block for each packet. The frame control block contains a pointer to a memory location where the packet data is stored, and is thereby associated with the packet. The network processor associates a plurality of frame control blocks together in a table control block that is stored in a control store. Each table control block comprises a pointer to a memory location of a next table control block in a chain of table control blocks. Because frame control blocks are stored and accessed in table control blocks, less frequent memory accesses may be needed to keep up with the frame rate of packet transmission.

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： Systems and methods for scheduling data packets in a network processor are disclosed. Embodiments provide a network processor that comprises a best-effort scheduler with a minimal calendar structure for addressing schedule control blocks. In one embodiment, a four-entry calendar structure provides for rate-limited weighted best effort scheduling. Each of a plurality of different flows has associated schedule control blocks. Schedule control blocks are stored as linked lists in a last-in-first-out buffer. Each calendar entry is associated with a different linked list by storing in the calendar entry the address of the first-out schedule control block in the linked list. Each schedule control block has a counter and is assigned a rate limit according to the bandwidth priority of the flow to which the corresponding packet belongs. Each time a schedule control block is accessed from a last-in-first-out buffer storing the linked list, the scheduler generates a scheduling event and the counter of the schedule control block is incremented. When an incremented counter of a schedule control block equals its rate limit, the schedule control block is temporarily removed from further scheduling until a time interval concludes.

摘要： A method and system for performing a lookup for a packet in a computer network are disclosed. The packet includes a header. The method and system include providing a parser, providing a lookup engine coupled with the parser, and providing a processor coupled with the lookup engine. The parser is for parsing the packet for the header prior to receipt of the packet being completed. The lookup engine performs a lookup for the header and returns a resultant. In one aspect, the lookup includes performing a local lookup of a cache that includes resultants of previous lookups. The processor processes the resultant.
