A method and apparatus for processing IP packets is disclosed. The method comprises defining sets of packet fields referred to as templates (in method steps 1101 - 1102 ), storing the templates in a memory, determining (in a step 1104 ) if a current IP packet is intended to be processed, identifying (in the step 1104 ) the process to be applied to the current IP packet, selecting, depending on an attribute of the identified process, at least one of the stored templates, and operating (in a step 1107 ) upon the current IP packet, using the templates, to form a processed IP packet.
