Abstract
A method for processing multiple data packets includes receiving from a network interface, at a packet management unit (PMU), a data packet for processing, and determining whether to store or drop the data packet. The method further includes queueing the data packet in a queue within a queueing system and preloading a portion of the data packet into a context from a pool of contexts in a stream processing unit (SPU). The queued data packet referenced by the context is processed by the SPU and outputted to the network interface.
