Abstract

A network device, system-on-a-chip, and method of performing packet handling are described. A packet is received, and a lookup based on one or more packet header fields of the packet is performed using a lookup generator action handler. An artificial intelligence engine processes packet header data associated with the packet, and a smart indication is generated. A forwarding decision is made for the packet based on the lookup performed by the lookup generator action handler as well as based on the smart indication generated with the artificial intelligence engine.
