Abstract:
An embodiment of the invention includes receiving packet header vectors where a header vector includes a number of packet header words. Match operations are performed on the packet header words. At least one packet header word is modified based on the match operations. At least one processor is used for each packet header word to perform the packet match operations and modify at least one packet header word. Instructions are received from an instruction word where a VLIW instruction word includes all of the instruction words. Each processor performs an operation in response to the instruction word.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for packet processing in a switching network, the method comprising:\n receiving packet header vectors wherein each packet header vector comprises a plurality of packet header words, wherein the packet header vectors are associated with ternary values that are representative of \u201c1\u201d, \u201c0\u201d, and \u201cdon't care\u201d; modifying, by a processor associated with an end destination, at least one packet header word in response to:\n at least one packet match operation; and \n at least one wide instruction word that provides an instruction to modify the at least one packet header word without specifying the end destination.
