An execution unit ( 260 ) within a network processor ( 110 ) performs multiple protocol-processing functions. The execution unit ( 260 ) includes a set of specialized registers ( 310 - 350 ) and a memory system ( 265 ). The specialized registers ( 310 - 350 ) store data during performance of the protocol-processing functions. The specialized registers ( 310 - 350 ) include one or more input registers, at least one control register, and one or more output registers. The memory system ( 265 ) includes multiple memories that operate together to facilitate performance of the protocol-processing functions by the execution unit ( 260 ).
