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 1):
A method for processing of packets ingressing a network device, the method comprising\n receiving a packet at a port of the network device; performing, with an ingress processor of the network device, ingress processing of the packet, the ingress processing including\n determining a packet type corresponding to the packet; \n identifying, based on the packet type, one or more header fields to be extracted from a header of the packet, including retrieving, from a memory based on the packet type, i) respective indicators of locations of the one or more header fields and ii) respective indicators of sizes of the one or more header fields; \n extracting, based on i) the respective indicators of the locations retrieved from the memory and ii) the respective identifiers of the sizes retrieved from the memory, the one or more header fields from the header of the packet; and \n processing, with a packet processor of the network device, the packet based on the one or more header fields extracted from the header, the processing including determining at least one port to which to forward the packet.
