Abstract:
1. A state decision subsystem (SDS) comprising: an inload module; a simple programmable entity (SPE); a first SPE memory; an unload module; a coherency module; wherein the inload module is adapted to read a first state information corresponding to a first TCP packet from a memory subsystem and to write a first context to the first SPE memory, wherein the first context includes the first state information and the first TCP packet; wherein the SPE is adapted to read the first context from the first SPE memory, to process the first context, and to write the processed first context to the first SPE memory, wherein the processed first context includes a processed first state information and a processed first TCP packet; wherein the unload memory is adapted to read the processed first context and to write the processed first state information to the memory subsystem; and wherein the coherency module is adapted to compare contents of the inload module and the unload module and, if the contents of each correspond to the same TCP connection, replacing the state-related content of the inload module with the state-related content of the unload module.
