摘要： Novel data structures, methods and apparatus for finding the longest prefix match search when searching tables with variable length patterns or prefixes. To find the exact match or the best matching prefix, patterns have to be compared a bit at a time until the exact or first match is found. This requires “n” number of comparisons or memory accesses to identify the closest matching pattern. The trees are built in such a way that the matching result is guaranteed to be a best match, whether it is an exact match or a longest prefix match. Using the trail of all the birds and associated prefix lengths enables determination of the correct prefix result from the trail. By construction, the search tree provides the best matching prefix at or after the first compare during walking of the trail or tree.
摘要翻译：当搜索具有可变长度模式或前缀的表时，用于查找最长前缀的新型数据结构，方法和装置匹配搜索。要找到完全匹配或最匹配的前缀，模式必须一次比较一下，直到发现确切或第一个匹配。这需要“n”个比较或存储器访问来识别最接近的匹配模式。树的建立方式使得匹配结果保证是最佳匹配，无论是完全匹配还是最长匹配前缀。使用所有鸟的踪迹和相关的前缀长度可以确定路线中正确的前缀结果。通过构建，搜索树在步道或树的步行期间在第一次比较之前或之后提供最佳的匹配前缀。

摘要： A system and method of moving information units from a network processor toward a data transmission network in a prioritized sequence which accommodates several different levels of service. The present invention includes a method and system for scheduling the egress of processed information units (or frames) from a network processing unit according to service based on minimum bandwidth specifications where position in the queue is adjusted after each service based on minimum bandwidth specificaiton and the length of frame, a process which is subject to rounding errors. To avoid the accumulation of rounding errors inequitably influencing the position of some in the queue, a system to adjust for the rounding errors adds an increased measure of fairness to the system.

摘要： A system and method of data flow management, particularly in a multiple network processor architecture where a plurality of independent processing units are simultaneously processing information from different frames of input information. The present invention includes first-in-first-out files identifying the individual frames and correlating the frames with the processor to which the frames have been assigned for processing as well as a first-in-first-out file of processed frames for each processor to allow the frames to be processed independently, then reassembled into the same order as the frames had been received without communication between the independent processors. Additionally, the present system supports newly-created frames as well as the concept of flushing the system without regard to frame order whereby frames are sent out to the network as the processing is completed without regard to input order, overriding the system of putting the output frames in the same order as the input frames were received from the network.

摘要： A method and system for queueing data within a data storage device including a set of storage blocks each having an address, a pointer field, and a data field. This set of storage blocks comprises a linked list of associated storage blocks and also a free pool of available storage blocks. The storage device further includes a tail register for tracking an empty tail block from which a data object is enqueued into the linked list. A request to enqueue a data object into the linked list is received within the data storage system. In response to the data enqueue request, an available storage block from the free pool is selected and associated with the tail register. A single write operation is then required to write the data object into the data field of a current tail block and to write the address of the selected storage block into the pointer field of the current tail block, such that the selected storage block becomes a new tail block to which the tail register points.

摘要： The ability of network processors to move data to and from dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chips used in computer systems is enhanced in several respects. In one aspect of the invention, two double data rate DRAMS are used in parallel to double the bandwidth for increased throughput of data. The movement of data is further improved by setting 4 banks of full ‘read’ and 4 banks of full ‘write’ by the network processor for every repetition of the DRAM time clock. A scheme for randomized ‘read’ and ‘write’ access by the network processor is disclosed. This scheme is particularly applicable to networks such as Ethernet that utilize variable frame sizes.
