Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product for implementing network state processing is provided. The method includes detecting operational states for ports of a server Internet protocol (IP) data plane component of an integrated switching device. Each operational state is analyzed and matching and action rules associated with the operational states are generated with respect to data packets arriving at the ports. Data describing each operational state is stored within a port cache structure of a port. An incoming data packet is detected at a first port and the matching and action rules are distributed between port engines of the ports. The matching and action rules are executed with respect to the incoming data packet and the incoming data packet is transmitted to a destination port. Operational functionality of the integrated switching device is enabled with respect to execution of the incoming data packet at the destination port.
