METHODS AND APPARATUSES TO SPLIT INCOMING DATA INTO SUB-CHANNELS TO ALLOW PARALLEL PROCESSING

摘要

Exemplary embodiments of methods and apparatuses to split incoming data into a plurality of sub-channels to allow parallel processing are described. A packet is received over a network. The packet is compared against a filter. The packet is routed to a process sub-channel in a memory based on the comparing. The process sub-channel is one of the plurality of process sub-channels that are configured to allow parallel processing. In one embodiment, the filter includes user defined criteria for the packet.
