Increasing link speeds have placed enormous burden on the processing requirements and the processors are expected to carry out a variety of tasks. Network Processors (NP) [1] [2] ...
Programming network processors remains an art due to the variety of different network processor architectures and due to little support to reason and explore implementations on su...

In this paper, fundamental conditions which bound the network processing unit (NPU) worst-case performance are established. In particular, these conditions formalize and integrate...
Modern network processors support high levels of parallelism in packet processing by supporting multiple threads that execute on a micro-engine. Threads switch context upon encoun...
