Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for protocol independent data unit forwarding. A packet forwarding system receives a data unit comprising a header byte string via an input port. The packet forwarding system parses the data unit based on a header type determined based on the input port, yielding a parsing output describing the header byte string of the data unit. The packet forwarding system updates a metadata item associated with the data unit based on the parsing output and determines a packet forwarding instruction for forwarding the data unit to a destination based on the metadata item associated with the data unit. The packet forwarding system forwards the data unit to the destination based on the packet forwarding instruction and the metadata item associated with the data unit.

Protocol independent data unit forwarding

Various embodiments provide for cut-through data unit forwarding with early ingress processing of a data unit in a communications network, such as an Ethernet-based network. According to some embodiments, cut-through data unit forwarding is performed such that data unit processing is initiated by a receiving network device while the data unit is still underway from a transmitting network device.

Cut-through data forwarding with early ingress processing

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for network security using Root of Trust (RoT). A node in the vehicle networking system receives an authentication message from an adjacent node in the vehicle networking system. The authentication message included identifying information of the adjacent node that is digitally signed with a digital signature having been generated using a private key. The adjacent node accessed the identifying information of the second node from a source image authenticated during a secure boot of the adjacent node. The node accesses a public key available to the node and authenticates the adjacent node based on the public key and the digital signature included in the authentication message.

Network security using root of trust

Various embodiments provide for using data encapsulation to extend support of an Audio Video Transport Protocol (AVTP) standard, which can be used in such applications as data network communications between sensors (e.g., cameras, motion, radar, etc.) and computing equipment within vehicles (e.g., smart and autonomous cars).
