Abstract
A method of processing network data in a network processor includes using three or more threads to process a beginning portion, a middle portion, and an end portion of data packet is presented. The first thread processes the beginning portion; one or more middle threads process the middle portion, and a last thread processes the end portion. First information is indirectly passed from the first thread to the last thread via a first buffer with the middle threads progressively updating the first information. Second information is directly passed from the first thread to the last thread via a second buffer.
