<p>Communication protocol interface systems and methods are disclosed. A predetermined type of content of communication traffic of a first communication protocol, illustratively control information, is translated into a corresponding type of content of communication traffic of a second communication protocol. The translated communication traffic is transferred to a first component of a communication device, which is configured to transfer the corresponding type of content to a second component of the communication device. The second component is configured for processing the predetermined type of content. In some embodiments, other types of content are translated for direct processing by the first component. Mechanisms are thereby provided, for example, for transferring control information through a packet processor to a host processor, while allowing data to be processed normally by the packet processor.</p> |
