Abstract
A method to process a packet is described herein. The method comprises receiving a packet including a header and a payload. The header is parsed using a packet processor to determine type and priority of the packet. The header is then processed using a hardware acceleration block based on one or more of incoming bandwidth, priority and type of the packet. The custom hardware acceleration block generates header modification data that is sent to the packet processor. The header is modified using the packet processor, based on the header modification data, to generate a modified header. The modified header is appended to the payload and transmitted.
