A packet switch routes data packets based on both packet headers and data payloads in the data packets. The packet switch receives data packets, identifies a destination port of the packet switch for each data packet based on a packet header of the data packet, and routes the data packet to the destination port. Additionally, the packet switch selects data packets among the data packets received by the packet switch based on the data payloads of the received data packets, identifies a trace port of the packet switch for each selected data packet, and routes the selected data packet to the trace port.

Content driven packet switch

A packet switch includes a pointer table for mapping locations in an input data buffer to locations in an output data buffer. The processor generates an output data packet based on data portions in the input data buffer and based on the pointer table. The output data buffer stores data portions of the output data packet successively in a sequential order and can output the data portions of the output data packet successively in a sequential order. The pointer table may be configured to reduce the latency or reduce the power consumption of the packet switch.
