Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques that include storing, during parsing of a data unit or a network packet, information (i.e., 'summary information') that identifies how the network packet has been process and/or other aspects of the parsing process. In one example, this disclosure describes a method that includes parsing a packet header from a data unit, wherein parsing the packet header includes storing in result vector storage each of a plurality of data items derived from the packet header, the result vector storage having a result vector format defining fields within the result vector storage for storing each of the plurality of data items; storing in template storage, for each of the plurality of data items, summary information about the plurality of data items stored in the result vector storage; and processing, by the packet-processing integrated circuit and based on the summary information and the plurality of data items, the network packet.
