ABSTRACT:
A network device for processing data on a data network including a plurality of ports, configured to receive data from a data network and to send processed data to the data network via an egress port, a controller interface, configured to communicate with an external controller, a memory management unit, configured store data on and retrieve data from the memory and a metering unit, configured to police a flow of the processed data to be sent to the egress port. The metering unit further includes programmable registers, in communication with the controller interface, configured to be programmed through controller signals sent through the controller interface from the external controller, such at all aspects of the flow of the processed data may be controlled by the external controller.
