Title: Sticky and transient markers for a packet parser
Inventor: FABRICE JEAN VERPLANKEN
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2014-11-07
Abstract: A packet parser 9 has a set of marker elements (21, Figure 3) each comprising a one bit latch and connected to store flag values from the results of the application of parser rules. Some marker elements are connected to provide the stored marker values as input to the parser rule logic to be taken into account in the processing of subsequent parser rules and some are connected to control external hardware. Some markers are reset at the end of each packet. A special toggle marker element toggles its value when its address is selected and other marker elements are connected to store, when its own address is selected, the value of the toggle element. Other markers toggle their own value when selected. The packet parser comprises a rule processor 10 which applies parsing rules to data from a data packet and supplies a result address value. The rule processor extracts the marker element address value from a field of a processor rule. The new value stored in the selected marker may be based on a value of one of the marker elements of the plurality of marker elements, such as the previous value of the selected marker, based on being different to the default value of the selected marker element or based on the value of a special marker element. The special marker element may invert its value when enabled and supplies its stored value, or a value based thereon, as the input of the selected marker element.
