摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for performing lookup operations using associative memories, including, but not limited to modifying search keys within an associative memory based on modification mappings, forcing a no-hit condition in response to a highest-priority matching entry including a force no-hit indication, selecting among various sets or banks of associative memory entries in determining a lookup result, and detecting and propagating error conditions. In one implementation, each block retrieves a modification mapping from a local memory and modifies a received search key based on the mapping and received modification data. In one implementation, each of the associative memory entries includes a field for indicating that a successful match on the entry should or should not force a no-hit result. In one implementation, an indication of which associative memory blocks or sets of entries to use in a particular lookup operation is retrieved from a memory.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for accumulating and distributing flow control information via update messages and piggybacked flow control information in other messages. One implementation operates using at least two techniques. Using a first technique, for every packet entering the switching system from a line card, the switching system conveys flow control information (typically congestion or both congestion and no-congestion indications) for the packet's destination to the line card. Using a second technique, the switching system will periodically convey congestion and no-congestion indications for all destinations to the line cards. In one implementation, when the first technique is used to provide only congestion indications, the periodic distribution of flow control information using the second technique provides non-congested indications which allows the line cards and their sources to resume or begin sending to the non-congested destinations.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for defining flow types and instances thereof such as for identifying packets corresponding to instances of the flow types. A flow type is defined and includes a set of properties including at least one of the possible properties selectable when defining a flow type. An instance of the flow type is defined and a set of corresponding associative memory entries is generated. A lookup word generator of a packet processing engine is typically notified of the use of the flow type, and one or more lookup words are generated typically by extracting fields from a received packet and/or from other sources. Based on a result of lookup operations on the set of associative memories entries using the generated one or more lookup words, the received packet can be identified as whether it matches or does not match the instance of the flow type.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for selectively discarding packets such as in, but not limited to a packet switching system, by reacting to packet traffic conditions to reduce or eliminate the indiscriminate discarding of packets during identified overload conditions. Typically, a first element forwards multiple packets to a second element, each of the multiple packets being associated with a packet overload condition type of possible packet overload condition types, including, but not limited to a discard-on-overload type and a retain-on-overload type. The first element forwards a condition indication to the second element. The second element receives the condition indication and a particular packet. The second element discards the particular packet if the received condition indication is associated with the overload state and the packet overload condition type of the particular received packet is associated with the discard-on-overload type. Otherwise, the second element typically further processes the particular packet.

摘要： Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, data structures, computer-readable media, mechanisms, and means for defining, creating and using tree bitmap data structures, such as for, but not limited to their use in performing lookup operations (e.g., longest prefix matching, etc.). The data structure typically includes a tree bitmap for identifying for each node of multiple nodes within a stride of a number of tree levels greater than one whether each node is a prefix or vacant node, the multiple nodes representing multiple tree levels, a lowest level subset of the multiple nodes corresponding to a lowest level of the tree levels in the stride, the lowest level subset of the multiple nodes including two or more nodes. A child bitmap is typically used for identifying which trie paths emanate and which trie paths do not emanate from the lowest level subset of the multiple nodes.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are also disclosed for responding to received flow control messages indicating a previously congested port is now in a non-congested state. Many different components that have packets to send to a particular output will receive an indication that they are now allowed to send these packets at roughly the same time as the other components. If all components start sending at the same time, then the packet switch might become congested, possibly very quickly. If the packet switch cannot respond and transmit flow control messages to all of these sources fast enough, certain internal buffers could overflow and thus packets might be lost. On implementation causes components to start sending to the destination at varying times to gradually increase the traffic being sent to the destination. In this manner, the traffic in the packet switch gradually rises which allows buffers within the packet switch to drain while new traffic is arriving, and allows the packet switch time to react and throttle-back the traffic in a reasonable manner should paths leading to the output become congested.

Each of N contiguous levels of the multiple tree arrays are stored in a different one of said N sets of memory channels, wherein each of the multiple tree arrays at a same level of said N contiguous levels is stored in the same memory channel set of said N sets of memory channels. A memory channel for storing a particular level is typically assigned based on one or more current occupancy levels of the memory channels.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for processing packets, for example, using a high performance massively parallel packet processing architecture, distributing packets or subsets thereof to individual packet processors and gathering the processed packet or subsets and forwarding the resultant modified or otherwise processed packets, accessing packet processing resources across a shared resource network, accessing packet processing resources using direct memory access techniques, and/or storing one overlapping portion of a packet in a global packet memory while providing a second overlapping portion to a packet processor. In one implementation, the processing of the packet includes accessing one or more processing resources across a resource network shared by multiple packet processing engines. In one implementation, a global packet memory is one of these resources. In one implementation, these resources are accessed using direct memory access (DMA) techniques. In one implementation, a descriptor used in a prior DMA request is modified and then used in a second DMA request.

摘要： Methods and apparatus are disclosed for generating and using an enhanced tree bitmap data structure in determining a longest prefix match, such as in a router, packet switching system. One implementation organizes the tree bitmap to minimize the number of internal nodes that must be accessed during a lookup operation. A pointer is included in each of the trie or search nodes to the best match so far entry in the leaf or results array which allows direct access to this result without having to parse a corresponding internal node. Moreover, one implementation stores the internal node for a particular level as a first element in its child array. Additionally, one implementation uses a general purpose lookup engine that can traverse multiple tree bitmaps or other data structures simultaneously, and perform complete searches, partial searches, and resume partial searches such as after receiving additional data on which to search.
