Abstract
In a method of processing a packet header received via an input interface, a plurality of data units that collectively correspond to a header of a network packet is received. A location of a target field of the header in one or more data units among the plurality of data units is specified, and the one or more data units containing the target field are identified among the plurality of data units. The target field is processed using a local offset corresponding to the specified location of the target field in the identified one or more data units, without simultaneously storing all data units of the plurality of data units in a buffer.
