The present invention relates to a structure and a method of data update in a cache memory inside a local processor, which uses the feature of cache control. A buffer block of a header buffer is mapped to a memory space at several different address sectors addressed by the local processor. Whenever the local processor attempts to access the internal cache memory, cache missing will occur so that a local processor will be forced to alternatively request new data from buffer blocks of a header buffer in a HCA. Consequently, the whole block is loaded into cache memory. This does not only boost cache update performance but also accelerates packet access.
