Optimized data path structure for multi-channel management information base (MIB) event generation

A device for handling data flow within a network, said device comprising:

• a packet detection module contained within the network is configured to detect a set of data entering the network;
• a cycle time module configured to determine a cycle time needed to process the set of incoming data, wherein the cycle time module communicates with the packet detection module;
• a division module configured to divide a serial shifting bus into a plurality of segments, wherein the serial shifting bus is included within the network to transfer the data and the division module communicates with the cycle time module;
• assignment module configured to assign a plurality of assembly lines to each segment, wherein each of the assembly lines is connected to the serial shifting bus, wherein the assignment module communicates with the division module;
• an input device configured to receive the data at the plurality of assembly lines for processing and assembly of the data;
• the assembly lines generate MIB status and latch the MIB status to the serial bus;
• the serial shifting bus serially shifting the data until the data reaches the end;
• and
• the end of the serial bus segment configured to transfer the data out of the serial shifting bus to a management information base processing unit included within the network.
