Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an integrated circuit that is provided with a packet router, whose extension is facilitated. SOLUTION: This invention provides the integrated circuit that is provided with a packet router where function modules are connected by respective ports. One of the ports acts like a socket port with respect to an extension socket. The extension socket provides a plurality of additional extension ports, to which additional function modules can be connected. All of the ports, including the extension socket port and connected to the packet router, preferably exist in a common address space of the integrated circuit.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connection port whose function is enhanced in as integrated circuit. SOLUTION: The integrated circuit is provided with the connection port interconnecting a function module. The connection port provides functionality enhanced by a common port primitive (basic instruction). This simplifies the port design and the selection and allows a common packet protocol to be used for packet communication via a packet router.
