Abstract
A method and a device are disclosed for processing data packets which comprise real-time data packets. The data packets are classified first by a co-processor unit into at least one first data packet type comprising real-time data packets, and a second data packet type. The data packets of the first data packet type are processed via a first data path with a further co-processor unit while the data packets of the second data packet type are processed via a second data path which comprises a main processor unit. Thus real-time data packets are processed without using the main processor unit.

A method for processing a plurality of data packets which include real-time data packets, the method comprising:
- a) classifying the plurality of data packets into at least one first data packet type and a second data packet type, wherein real-time data packets are allocated to the first data packet type and wherein the second data packet type is different from the first data packet type;
- b) processing the data packets of the first data packet type via a first data path;
- and
- c) processing the data packets of the second data packet type via a second data path.
A device configured to process data packets which include real-time data packets, the device comprising:
- a first processor configured to classify the data packets into at least one first data packet type and a second data packet type, wherein the first processor is operable to allocate real-time data packets to the first data packet type and wherein the second data packet type is different from the first data packet type;
- a first data path configured to process data packets of the first data packet type;
- and
- a second data path configured to process data packets of the second data packet type.
