摘要: The present invention features a data link layer processor for performing VLAN tagging operations, policing, shaping, and statistics acquisition integrally with one or more media access controllers (MACs). When plurality of processors are operated in parallel switching device, the computational burden carried by route engine is significantly reduced. Moreover, its several embodiments may be used to introduce various forms pre-processing post-processing into network systems that employ engines do not posses such functionality.
