Abstract
System and methods for processing state-based network packets are described herein. Processing of network protocol packets can include classifying events associated with the network protocol packet based on a current, internal protocol state and event type. The techniques may map these events to actions. For instance, the techniques may map these incoming events to specific indices within a TCAM. The indices may be used to lookup 'actions' encoded within an SRAM. The system may utilize these actions to generate one or more outgoing messages as well as determine possible “next” state transitions. Accordingly, by utilizing contents of a TCAM and SRAM, the techniques may facilitate dynamic and flexible programmability of processing network protocol packets.
