Methods and systems for processing data communicated over a network. In one aspect, an exemplary embodiment includes processing a first group of network packets in a first processor which executes a first network protocol stack, where the first group of network packets are communicated through a first network interface port, and processing a second group of network packets in a second processor which executes a second network protocol stack, where the second group of network packets is communicated through the first network interface port. Other methods and systems are also described.

Methods and systems for processing network data

Methods and apparatus' for performing IPSec processing on an IP packet being transmitted onto a network and being received from a network are described. The methods and apparatus' further described perform IPSec processing inline which results in a reduced number of transfers over the system bus, reduced utilization of system memory, and a reduced utilization of the system CPU. An IP packet which requires IPSec processing enters an acceleration device. In one embodiment, the acceleration device is coupled to a security policy database (SPD) and security association database (SAD). IPSec processing is performed at the acceleration device without sending the IP Packet to system memory for processing.

Method and circuit to accelerate IPSec processing

Methods and apparatus' for performing SSL processing on an IP packet being transmitted onto a network and being received from a network are described. The methods and apparatus' further described performing SSL processing inline which results in a reduced number of transfers over the system bus, reduced utilization of system memory, and a reduced utilization of the system CPU. An IP packet that requires SSL processing enters an acceleration device. SSL processing is performed at the acceleration device without first sending the IP packet to system memory for processing.
