Abstract: A method for performing packet reorder processing is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, at a packet receive buffer, a data packet, the packet receive buffer comprising a plurality of N-sized pages. The method also comprises storing the received data packet across a plurality of pages of the packet receive buffer. The method further comprises writing, at storage of each of the plurality of pages, a pointer to a next page in which a subsequent portion of the data packet is stored. The method also comprises transmitting the pointer to a ring buffer. The method further comprises calculating an offset to the ring based on a sequence number of the corresponding packet, and storing the pointer to a first page in the calculate offset of the ring buffer.

Abstract: A value is hashed and then a lookup operation is performed in a content addressable memory based on the hashed value to generate a content addressable memory result, which is used in performing an operation. In one implementation, the content addressable memory result includes an address, and the operation performed includes retrieving a record from memory, comparing a key value stored in the record to the first value to identify the correct record, and then updating a statistics value in the record. In one embodiment, an original value is masked to generate the value which is hashed. In one implementation, the value corresponds to a masked or original flow identification value associated with a flow of packets.
