Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a configuration interface of a network ASIC. The configuration interface allows for two modes of traversal of nodes. The nodes form one or more chains. Each chain is in a ring or a list topology. A master receives external access transactions. Once received by the master, an external access transaction traverses the chains to reach a target node. A target node either is an access to a memory space or is a module. A chain can include at least one decoder. A decoder includes logic that determines which of its leaves to send an external access transaction to. In contrast, if a module is not the target node, then the module passes an external access transaction to the next node coupled thereto; otherwise, if the module is the target node, the transmission of the external access transaction stops at the module.

Claim (Index 24):
A method of implementing a network ASIC in a network device, wherein the network device includes a plurality of nodes arranged in a tree structure, comprising:\n receiving at a trunk of the tree an external access transaction from a source, wherein the plurality of nodes include one or more memory access blocks, one or more decoders and a plurality of modules and the tree structure forms a plurality of rings and a plurality of chains that are each coupled to the trunk, wherein a first decoder of the decoders is coupled with two or more first rings of the rings and two or more of first chains of the plurality of chains; and traversing the tree until the external access transaction reaches a target node, wherein upon receiving the external access transaction, the first decoder determines whether to forward the external access transaction onto one of the first rings or the first chains.
