摘要
Described embodiments provide a system having at least two network processors that each have a plurality of processing modules. The processing modules process a packet in a task pipeline by transmitting task messages to other processing modules on a task ring, the task messages related to desired processing of the packet. A series of tasks within a network processor may result in no processing or reduced processing for certain processing modules creating a virtual pipeline depending on the packet received by the network processor. At least two of the network processors communicate tasks. This communication allows ter the extension of the virtual pipeline of or IC network processor to at least two network processors.
