Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for increasing the throughput of a communications internetworking device. The method involves the generating, by internetworking device hardware, of a predetermined code vector in response to the current state of the communications internetworking device and information contained in a data packet received by the internetworking device. In response to the hardware generated predetermined code vector, a predetermined software routine is executed by a microprocessor in the internetworking device which controls how the data packet is to be transmitted to its destination. By using hardware to generate the code vector, time is saved over having software determine how the internetworking device is to handle the data packet.
