Abstract: A packet is received at an ingress port of a networking device and a forwarding result that identifies an egress port for the packet is generated. In parallel with the generation of the forwarding result, a network address translation (NAT) result that identifies one or more NAT rules for possible application to the packet is generated. The forwarding result and the NAT result are then used to generate a routing decision result.

Abstract: A video decoder performs a sequential error handling process to detect and conceal errors within a corrupted data segment of video data units. The decoder sequentially decodes a current data unit. Upon detecting an error, the decoder sets an error flag and resynchronizes decoding at the start of the next unit. If the error flag is set, the video decoder identifies the end of the corrupted data segment based on the start of the later unit. The decoder conceals data between the start of the current unit and the end of the corrupted data segment. If the error flag is not set, the decoder may decode the remainder of the current unit and proceed to decode the next available unit without performing error handling and concealment for the current unit. The decoder also may address reference unit mismatches caused by lost video data units.
