ABSTRACT:
A method and device to process a packet received by a network device is described. The method may comprise analyzing the packet to identify at least one set of a plurality of sets, mapping the at least one set to at least one functional unit, and performing functionality associated with the at least one functional unit. Analyzing the packet to identify at least one of a plurality of sets may comprise determining when the packet includes at least one set identifier, and identifying the at least one set based on the at least one set identifier. A set status identifier may be defined for each set, the set status identifier indicating when set identifiers associated with a corresponding set are detected in the packet. The device may be a router, switch or any other device that processes digital data e.g., packet data including packets headers, payload or the like.
