CA 2301568
An improved frame processing apparatus (200) for a network that supports high speed frame processing is disclosed. The frame pro- cessing apparatus (200) uses a combination of fixed hardware and programmable hardware to implement network processing, including frame processing and media access control (MAC) processing. Although generally applicable to frame processing for networks, the improved frame processing apparatus (200) is particular suited for token-ring networks and ethernet net- works. The invention can be implemented in numerous ways, including as an apparatus, an integrated circuit and network equipment.
L'invention concerne un dispositif de traitement de trames (200) amélioré, destiné à un réseau, qui assure un traitement rapide des trames. Le dispositif (200) utilise une combinaison de matériel fixe et de matériel programmable pour effectuer le traitement de réseau, notamment le traitement de trames et le contrôle d'accès au support (M.A.C.). Quoique pouvant être appliqué de manière générale au traitement de trames dans les réseaux, le dispositif amélioré (200) de l'invention est particulièrement bien adapté aux réseaux locaux à jeton et aux réseaux Ethernet. L'invention peut être mise en oeuvre de multiples manières, notamment sous forme de dispositif, de circuit intégré ou d'équipement de réseau.
