ABSTRACT:
A general purpose, software-controlled central processor (CP) can be augmented by a set of task specific, specialized peripheral processors (PPs). The central processor accomplishes its functions with the support of the PPs. Peripheral processors may include but are not limited to a packet parser, a packet deconstructor, a search engine, and a packet editor. At each step in the use of this network processor system, the central processor has an opportunity to intervene and modify the handling of the packet based on its interpretation of PP results. The programmable nature of the CP and the PPs provides the system with flexibility and adaptability.
