System and method to generate a CRC (cyclic redundancy check) value using a plurality of CRC generators operating in parallel

摘要

The present invention relates to a system and method to generate a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) value using a plurality of CRC generators operating in parallel. The system includes a switching module operatively coupled to a parallel data bus. The switching module generates and places a packet cycle on the parallel data bus to transmit a data packet and packet modification commands to modify the data packet. The system further includes a bridging module operatively coupled to the parallel data bus. The bridging module modifies the data packet in accordance to the packet modification commands, and generates a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) value to reflect modifications made to the data packet. The bridging module utilizes a plurality of CRC generators operating in parallel to generate the CRC value quickly and efficiently.
