Abstract:
A packet type corresponding to a packet received by a network device is determined. Based on the packet type, one or more header fields to be extracted from a header of the packet are identified. Identifying the one or more header fields includes extracting, from a memory based on the packet type, respective indicators of locations of the one or more header fields and respective indicators of sizes of the one or more header fields. The one or more identified header fields from the header of the packet, based on the respective indicators of locations of the one or more header fields and respective indicators of sizes of the one or more header fields. The packet is then processed based on the one or more header fields extracted from the header. The processing includes deter mining at least one port to which to forward the packet.

Claim (Index 21):
The network device of  claim 20 , wherein\n the packet is a first packet, and the ingress processor is further configured to\n determine a packet type corresponding to a second packet received by the network device, and \n retrieve, from the memory based on the packet type corresponding to the second packet, i) an indicator of a location of a target ID field in a port extender forwarding tag in a header of the second packet and ii) an indicator of a size of the target ID field in the port extender forwarding tag in the header of the second packet, wherein one or both i) the location of the target ID field in the port extender forwarding tag in the header of the second packet is different from the location of the target ID field in the port extender port extender forwarding tag in the header of the first packet and ii) the size of the target ID field in the port extender forwarding tag in the header of the second packet is different from the size of the target ID field in the port extender forwarding tag in the header of the first packet.
