ABSTRACT:
A series of data stream commands are combined into a nil terminated linked list to form a data stream control procedure for a computer system. Thereafter, the data stream control procedure is assigned to a data stream within the computer system. A plurality of data items (e.g., packets) associated with the data stream are then managed by executing operations on the data items according to the data stream control procedure. The management operations may include compiling the data stream control procedure into direct memory access (DMA) commands and then executing the DMA commands by transferring the data items within a memory system associated with the computer system. The data stream commands in the data stream control procedure are compiled in a linear sequence. In one embodiment, the computer system may conform to the IEEE 1394 Serial Bus Standard.
