Abstract
A packet processor of a network device includes a forwarding engine that is configured to determine egress network interfaces via which packets received by the network device are to be transmitted. The packet processor also includes a header parser configured to parse header information in the packets received by the network device. The header parser includes a first parsing circuit that is configured to parse a first portion of a header of a packet and to prompt a programmable second parsing circuit to parse a second portion of the header. The first portion of the header has a header structure known to the first parsing circuit. The programmable second parsing circuit includes configurable circuitry and a memory to store control information that controls operation of the configurable circuitry to parse the second portion of the header.
