Abstract

See full text

Embodiments include a network device comprising: at least one processing core; a packet processing module configured to perform a first set of packet processing operations at a first rate, to partially process data units that are received at the network device, the packet processing module being further configured to transmit ones of the data units to the at least one processing core, the at least one processing core being configured to perform a second set of processing operations at a second rate, wherein the second set of processing operations is different from the first set of processing operations; an interconnecting module configured to interconnect the packet processing module and the at least one processing core; and a rate limiter configured to selectively control a transmission rate at which the data units are transmitted by the packet processing module to the at least one processing core based on the second rate.
