PACKET TRAFFIC CONTROL IN A NETWORK PROCESSOR |
摘要 |
A network processor controls packet traffic in a network by maintaining a count of pending packets. In the network processor, a pipe identifier (ID) is assigned to each of a number of paths connecting a packet output to respective network interfaces receiving those packets. A corresponding pipe ID is attached to each packet as it is transmitted. A counter employs the pipe ID to maintain a count of packets to be transmitted by a network interface. As a result, the network processor manages traffic on a per-pipe ID basis to ensure that traffic thresholds are not exceeded.
