摘要： A mechanism is provided for sharing a communication used by a parser (parser path) in a network adapter of a network processor for sending requests for a process to be executed by an external coprocessor. The parser path is shared by processors of the network processor (software path) to send requests to the external processor. The mechanism uses for the software path a request mailbox comprising a control address and a data field accessed by MMIO for sending two types of messages, one message type to read or write resources and one message type to trigger an external process in the coprocessor and a response mailbox for receiving response from the external coprocessor comprising a data field and a flag field. The other processors of the network poll the flag until set and get the coprocessor result in the data field.

摘要： A system and method for multicore processing of communications between data processing devices are provided. With the mechanisms of the illustrative embodiments, a set of techniques that enables sustaining media speed by distributing transmit and receive-side processing over multiple processing cores is provided. In addition, these techniques also enable designing multi-threaded network interface controller (NIC) hardware that efficiently hides the latency of direct memory access (DMA) operations associated with data packet transfers over an input/output (I/O) bus. Multiple processing cores may operate concurrently using separate instances of a communication protocol stack and device drivers to process data packets for transmission with separate hardware implemented send queue managers in a network adapter processing these data packets for transmission. Multiple hardware receive packet processors in the network adapter may be used, along with a flow classification engine, to route received data packets to appropriate receive queues and processing cores for processing.

摘要： A mechanism is provided for merging in a network processor results from a parser and results from an external coprocessor providing processing support requested by said parser. The mechanism enqueues in a result queue both parser results needing to be merged with a coprocessor result and parser results which have no need to be merged with a coprocessor result. An additional queue is used to enqueue the addresses of the result queue where the parser results are stored. The result from the coprocessor is received in a simple response register. The coprocessor result is read by the result queue management logic from the response register and merged to the corresponding incomplete parser result read in the result queue at the address enqueued in the additional queue.

摘要： Access control lists (ACLs) permit network administrators to manage network traffic flowing through a networking element to optimize network security, performance, quality of service (QoS), and the like. If a networking element has multiple ACLs directed towards different types of network optimization, each ACL may return a separate action set that identifies one or more actions the networking element should perform based on a received frame. In some cases, these action sets may conflict. To resolve the conflicts, a networking element may include resolution logic that selects one of the conflicting actions based on a predefined precedence value assigned to each action in an action set. By comparing the different precedence values, the resolution logic generates a new action set based on the actions with the highest precedence value.
摘要翻译：访问控制列表（ACL）允许网络管理员管理流经网络元件的网络流量，以优化网络安全性，性能，服务质量（QoS）等。如果网络元件具有针对不同类型的网络优化的多个ACL，则每个ACL可以返回单独的动作集合，其识别基于接收到的帧的网络元件应该执行的一个或多个动作。在某些情况下，这些操作集可能会发生冲突。为了解决冲突，网络元件可以包括分辨率逻辑，其基于分配给动作集中的每个动作的预定义优先级值来选择冲突动作之一。通过比较不同的优先级值，分辨率逻辑基于具有最高优先级值的动作生成新的动作集。
