Abstract
A method may be used for assembling received data segments into full packets in an initial processing stage in a processor. The method may include receiving a plurality of data segments from a packet and determining a first storage location for each of the plurality of data segments. The method may further include storing each of the plurality of data segments in its determined first storage location and determining a second storage location for each of the plurality of data segments, the second storage locations being logically ordered to represent the order the data segments originally occurred in the packet. The method may also include storing each of the plurality of data segments in its determined second storage location to re-assemble the packet and releasing the first storage location associated with each data segment after storing the data segment in its determined second storage location. The method may additionally include, upon the storing of an end of packet data segment from the packet in its determined second storage location, passing control of the plurality of related data segments to a next processing stage in the processor.
