Abstract:
In a method for processing network packets, a network packet is received at an ingress port. After at least a first portion of the network packet has been received, but before the network packet has been completely received, a first data structure representing the network packet is generated based on the first portion, the first data structure is processed, and the network packet begins to be selectively forwarded to a first one or more egress ports, or selectively not forwarded to any egress port, responsively to processing the first data structure. A second data structure representing the network packet is generated and, after the network packet has been completely received, the second data structure is processed, and the network packet is selectively forwarded to a second one or more egress ports, different from the first one or more egress ports, responsively to processing the second data structure.
