ABSTRACT:
A method for processing various numbers of ports in a network processor. A method for processing various numbers of ports in a network processor comprises the steps of: a) receiving the number N of ports from a system controller; b) allocating N−1 number of registers for storing N−1 number of port management information in response to the number N of ports; c) processing a packet by sequentially accessing the N number of ports; and d) after processing a packet related to a predetermined port, storing management information related to the predetermined port in a register used for the next port, and storing the management information related to the predetermined port in a first register among the N−1 number of registers when a register for storing management information in a previous packet processing is the last (N−1)-th register among the N−1 number of registers.
