ABSTRACT:
According to the present invention, the multiple processor device determines routing for a plurality of data segments. In determining the routing, the multiple processor device first receives the plurality of data segments. The plurality of data segments include multiplexed data fragments from at least one of a plurality of virtual channels. Further, a data segment of the plurality of data segments corresponds to one of the multiplexed data fragments. The multiple processor device then applies at least one routing rule to one of the plurality of data segments to produce at least one result corresponding to the one of the plurality of data segments. The multiple processor device then interprets the at least one result to determine whether sufficient information is available to render a routing decision for the one of the plurality of data segments. When the multiple processor device determines that there is sufficient information to render a routing decision, the multiple processor device determines routing of the one of the plurality of data segments. When there is insufficient information to render a routing decision, the one of the plurality of data segments is stored in a buffer corresponding to a packet in which the one of the plurality of data segments was received. These operations are repeated for subsequent data segments.
