Abstract
Flexible switch logic packet processing includes receiving a first packet associated with a particular traffic flow, generating a switching decision behavior in a first cycle of the particular traffic flow by selecting one or more processing floors of a programmable pipeline based on a received profile signal indicating a type of processing required for the first packet, and performing packet processing on the first packet using the selected one or more processing floors of the programmable pipeline. In some aspects, an ingress packet processor is configured to generate a first switching decision behavior using the selected processing floors of a first programmable pipeline in the ingress packet processor. In other aspects, an egress packet processor is configured to perform a packet action on the passed first received packet based on a second switching decision behavior using the selected processing floors of a second programmable pipeline in the egress packet processor.
