Abstract:
A random early drop (RED) based processing circuit includes a scheduler, an RED-based decision logic and a controller. The scheduler generates a trigger event according to an RED-based operation schedule. The scheduler is coupled to a software interface, and the RED-based operation schedule in the scheduler is programmed via the software interface. The RED-based decision logic performs at least a first RED-based operation to generate a first RED decision accordingly. The controller receives at least the trigger event, and triggers the RED-based decision logic to perform the first RED-based operation according to at least the trigger event.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses pertaining to flexible information mapping and modification of data packets are described. A method may involve receiving a data packet, modifying one or more attributes of the data packet, and outputting the modified data packet. In modifying the one or more attributes of the data packet, the method may involve extracting information from the data packet, the information including one or more user-defined fields (UDFs) in a header of the data packet. The method may also involve defining one or more source user-defined fields (SUDFs) according to at least one UDF of the one or more UDFs. The method may further involve performing one or more actions with respect to at least one SUDF of the one or more SUDFs.
