Abstract

See full text

A stream switch fabric includes a series of stream queues coupled to a stream queue controller. A producer operates to output properly ordered portions of a data stream, hereinafter referred to as substreams, to one of the stream queues while the stream queue controller operates to control the outputting of a portion of the data within the stream queue to a consumer of the stream queue. The stream queue controller can initiate further actions within the stream queue such as copying a portion of the data within the stream queue to a content processing element for analysis; redirecting the data within the stream queue to another consumer of the data stream, such as another processing element or an interface with a packet switched network; modifying a portion of the data within the stream queue; and/or transferring a portion of the data within the stream queue to another stream queue within the stream switch fabric. The stream queue is controlled by control signals received from the consumer of the stream queue such as the content processing element.
