Abstract
A method of processing one or more packets includes receiving, at a first processing unit, a first packet including first information bits. The first information bits indicate a first control parameter. The method also includes determining whether the first control parameter will be utilized to process the first packet in at least a second processing unit and, at least partially in response to determining that the first control parameter will not be utilized to process the first packet in at least the second processing unit, replacing one or more bits of the first information bits in the first packet with second information bits. The second information bits indicate a second control parameter. The method also includes providing the first packet including the second information bits to the second processing unit.
