ABSTRACT:
A method and system for maintaining partial order of packets in packet processing modules is described. The system includes a memory and a plurality of packet processing modules to process packets that are part of a sequence in order. The memory stores a plurality of indicators, each indicator associated with one of the plurality of packet processing modules to identify which packets in the sequence are to be processed by the packet processing module and which packets in the sequence are to be skipped. The next packet in the sequence to be processed by the packet processing module is determined based on the stored indicators. A packet received at the packet processing module is processed if the packet is the next packet in the sequence to be processed.
