Abstract
A packet processing integrated circuit chip includes a plurality of input ports configured to receive packets from respective external sources and a plurality of output ports configured to transmit packets to respective external recipients. The chip further includes a packet processor configurable to extract data from payloads of the received packets, to process the extracted data to produce new packets with payloads having formats compatible with data structures of the external recipients, and to convey the new packets to the output ports. The chip may further include a packet switching fabric configured to route selected packets from the input ports to selected ones of the output ports without payload modification.
