ABSTRACT:
A communication system is provided that includes a mechanism for recognizing various communication protocols. That is, the communication system employs a packet processor which can adapt to sent and receive numerous protocols. The packet processor forms a part of a network adapter card or router associated with a LAN or a WAN. The packet processor includes subsystems which can be selectively re-configured so that the processor can dispatch and recognize differing protocols. More specifically, the re-configurable processor can dispatch and recognize differing packet and field formats associated with various communication protocols. Re-configuration is performed on select subsystems using at least a portion of a field programmable logic cell if not portions of numerous logic cells confined within defined areas on which the integrated processor is fabricated. As such, the logic cells can be programmed at the user site and, after program, function at a high performance level.
