CONCURRENT HASHES AND SUB-HASHES ON DATA STREAMS

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for performing concurrent hashing of packet streams. During operation, the system receives a stream of packets at a controller. The controller then identifies types and parameters for a plurality of different hashing operations based on a received packet. The controller further sends the packet concurrently to corresponding different hashing modules to produce different hash values, which can be used to facilitate packet forwarding.

1. A computer-executable method for performing concurrent hashing of packet streams, the method comprising:
receiving a stream of packets at a controller; identifying by the controller types and parameters for a plurality of different hashing operations based on a received packet; sending the packet concurrently to corresponding different hashing modules to produce different hash values, which can be used to facilitate packet forwarding.
