  • Method of handling data packets through a conditional state transition table and apparatus using the same
    Patent number: 10708179
    Abstract: The apparatus (SW) has a plurality of input/output ports (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5) for receiving and transmitting data packets, and comprises a data packets handling circuitry (DPL) arranged to forward data packets between the input/output ports (P1, P2, P3, P4, P5) and an internal apparatus controller (CPL) arranged to control the data packet handling circuitry (DPL); the apparatus controller (CPL) is arranged to store (MEM) at least one state transition table (TT) to be used for controlling the forwarding of data packets by the data packets handling circuitry (DPL); the apparatus controller (CPL) is arranged to use the state transition table (TT) for implementing at least one finite state machine (FSM); the apparatus controller (CPL) is arranged to use the state transition table (TT) for handling separately distinct incoming data packets flows through corresponding distinct instances of finite state machine; the state transition table (TT) corresponds to the combination of a state table (ST), a condition table (
