Abstract:
1. A method of managing parallel processing of network packets received at a wireless access device that includes a plurality of transceivers and a plurality of processing units, the method comprising: determining which transceiver of the plurality of transceivers a received network packet is associated with; determining whether the transceiver associated with the received network packet is bound to one of the processing units of the plurality of processing units; assigning the received network packet to the processing unit the transceiver is bound to in response to a determination that the transceiver is bound; and in response to a determination that the transceiver is not bound, binding the transceiver to a processing unit of the plurality of processing units such that the processing unit processes network packets associated with the transceiver while the transceiver is bound to the processing unit and assigning the received network packet to the processing unit the transceiver is bound to.
