Abstract
A technique for analyzing network packets includes receiving, by a network processor, a network packet having a packet header including address and control information. A set of bytes are extracted, using the network processor, from the packet header and a set of input bits for generating a hash code are derived, using the network processor, from the set of bytes. Finally, the hash code is generated using the input bits.
Claims7
A method for analyzing network packets, comprising:
- receiving, using a network processor, a network packet having a packet header including address and control information;
- extracting, using the network processor, a set of bytes from the packet header, wherein the set of bytes is selected based on usage of the network processor within a network structure;
- deriving, using the network processor, from the set of bytes a set of input bits for generating a hash code;
- and
- generating, using the network processor, the hash code using the input bits.
