A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCESSING AND MANAGING DYNAMIC DATA PLANE

摘要

The various embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for providing communication between a data plane and a control plane through a mailbox implemented in FPGA.The system provides a common interface between the control plane and data plane for exchanging messages. The messages are transmitted by the control plane to the data plane for efficiently accessing data structures. The system comprises a mailbox configured to receive messages from the control plane. The present invention adopts two different addressing modes to handle the updates received from the control plane. The low priority messages are processed in a general mailbox whereas the high priority messages are processed in a protection mailbox.
