HARDWARE-BASED PARSER FOR PACKECT-ORIENTED PROTOCOLS

摘要

The invention relates to the field of packet-oriented protocols. More particularly, the invention concerns a method of operating a protocol parser generated onto a predefined hardware structure. The protocol is packet-oriented and is hierarchically built from different fields in packets. According to the invention, it comprises: - a step of synthesis to define a parser architecture from the hardware structure; - a step of processing parser operations based on the hardware architecture.
