Abstract
A packet header processing engine includes a level(L) header generation unit and a level(L) header generation unit. The Land Lheader generation units are implemented in parallel with one another. The Lgeneration unit writes Lheader information to a first buffer and the Lgeneration unit writes Lheader information to a second buffer. When the Land Lheader generation units finish processing a packet, the packet may be unloaded from the first and second buffer while a new packet is simultaneously loaded to the packet header processing engine.
