Original Abstract

Packet header analysis and extraction of header fields needs to beperformed in all network devices. As network speed is increasingquickly, high speed packet header processing is required. We propose anew architecture of packet header analysis and fields extractionintended for high-speed FPGA-based network applications. Thearchitecture is able to process 20 Gbps network links with less than 12percent of available resources of Virtex 5 110 FPGA. Moreover, thepresented solution can balance between network throughput and consumedhardware resources to fit application needs. The architecture forpacket header processing is generated from standard XML protocol schemeand is strongly optimised for resource consumption and speed by anautomatic HDL code   generator. Our solution also enables to change theset of extracted header fields on-line without FPGA reconfiguration.
