METHOD AND APPARATUS TO PERFORM OPERATIONS ON MULTIPLE SEGMENTS OF A DATA PACKET IN A NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER

Abstract:

A stacked memory such as a high bandwidth memory (HBM) with a wide data path is used by a streaming pipeline in a network interface controller to buffer segments of a data packet to allow the network interface controller to perform operations on the packet payload. The headers and packet payload can be scanned and classified concurrently with the buffered payload parsed in parallel.
