Abstract
A network switch includes a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and a processor. The FPGA is configured to transfer a processing target packet to a transfer destination, based on transfer definition information, and to transfer a copy of the processing target packet to the processor. The processor is configured to delete an entry of the transfer definition information based on a transfer record information, and to update the transfer record information based on the copy of the processing target packet.
Claims15
A network switch comprising:
- a field programmable gate array (FPGA) configured to:
- transfer a processing target packet to a transfer destination, based on transfer definition information, and
- transfer a copy of the processing target packet to the processor;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- delete an entry of the transfer definition information based on a transfer record information, and
- update the transfer record information based on the copy of the processing target packet.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes a processor included in a network apparatus to execute a process, the process comprising:
- deleting an entry of a transfer definition information which is used for transferring a processing target packet to a transfer destination by a field programmable gate array (FPGA) included in the network apparatus a based on a transfer record information, and
- updating the transfer record information based on a copy of the processing target packet which is transferred by the FPGA .
A control method performing by a network apparatus including a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and a processor, the control method comprising:
- transferring, by the FPGA, a processing target packet to a transfer destination, based on transfer definition information, and
- transfer, by the FPGA, a copy of the processing target packet to the processor;
- deleting, by the processor, an entry of the transfer definition information based on a transfer record information, and
- updating, by the processor, the transfer record information based on the copy of the processing target packet.
