A method and system for reducing the number of accesses to memory to obtain the desired field information in frame control blocks. In one embodiment of the present invention, a system comprises a processor configured to process frames of data. The processor may comprise a data flow unit configured to receive and transmit frames of data, where each frame of data may have an associated frame control block. Each frame control block comprises a first and a second control block. The processor may further comprise a first memory coupled to the data flow unit configured to store field information for the first control block. The processor may further comprise a scheduler coupled to the data flow unit where the scheduler is configured to schedule frames of data received by data flow unit. The scheduler may comprise a second memory configured to store field information for the second control block. |
