摘要
A novel flow-through architecture for fragmentation and reassembly of tunnel packets in network devices is presented. The fragmentation and reassembly of tunneled packets are handled in the hardware pipeline to achieve line-rate processing of the traffic flow without the need for additional store and forward operations typically provided by a host processor or a co-processor. In addition, the hardware pipeline may perform fragmentation and reassembly of packets using encrypted tunnels by performing segment-by-segment crypto. A network device implementing fragment reassembly can include an ingress hardware pipeline that reassembles fragmented packets between a media access control (MAC) of the device and an output packet memory of the device, where the incoming fragmented packets can be encrypted and/or tunneled. A network device implementing packet fragmentation can include an egress hardware pipeline that fragments packets between an input packet memory of the device and the MAC, where the outgoing fragments can be encrypted and/or tunneled.
