| 发明名称 | Method for performing protocol translation in a network switch | ||
| 摘要 | A system and method are disclosed for processing a packet. Processing the packet comprises receiving the packet; translating the packet from a first protocol-specific format to a canonical packet format; translating the packet from the canonical packet format to a second protocol-specific format; and forwarding the packet. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method, comprising: converting, by a network device comprising at least one processor, a packet from a protocol-specific format, of a set of protocol-specific formats supported by a network device, to a canonical packet format yielding a canonical packet that is not protocol-specific; and forwarding, by the network device, the canonical packet to an egress processing engine of the network device, wherein the canonical packet format comprises at least a multiple protocol-specific field representing a first field that is common to multiple protocol-specific formats of the set and a protocol-specific field representing a second field that is specific exclusively to one protocol-specific format of the set. | ||
