Abstract
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.
