MULTIPLE CPU ARCHITECTURE PLATFORM NETWORK FIREWALL

摘要

A system includes a communication processor and an application processor communicatively coupled to the communication processor. The communication processor is configured to detect a receipt of an incoming data packet, initially process at least a portion of the incoming data packet in the communication processor to determine if the incoming packet satisfies a first set of pre-determined criteria and automatically enable a transfer of the incoming data packet to the application processor depending upon an outcome of the initial processing of the incoming data packet.
