ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the invention is an apparatus. The apparatus includes a network processor interface suitable for coupling to a network processor. The apparatus further includes a central processor interface suitable for coupling to a central processor. The apparatus also includes a protocol determination logic block to determine a protocol type of data in a packet and steer the packet to either the central processor interface or the network processor interface based on the protocol type of data.
