Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Streaming architecture for packet parsing." This invention relates to apparatus and associated methods for packet header field extraction as defined by a high-level language. It is implemented in a minimum number of hardware streaming parsing stages to speculatively extract header fields from among multiple possible header sequences. The design allows for the determination of the number of stages based on the longest possible header sequence in any received packet. Each pipelined stage resolves a correct header sequence by sequentially extracting length and transition information from an adjacent prior stage to determine the offset of the next header. This innovative approach substantially reduces parsing latency.
Another notable patent is "Pipelined match-action circuitry." This match-action circuit includes one or more conditional logic circuits, each having an input coupled to the input header or metadata of a network packet. These circuits are configured to generate an enable signal based on the header or metadata signals. Each match circuit is designed to conditionally look up response values associated with input key values from the header or metadata in response to the enable signal. This invention allows for conditional modification of the header or metadata data based on the states of the response values output from the match circuits.
