A network appliance can have an input port that can receive network packets at line rate, two or more ingress queues, a line rate classification circuit that can place the network packets on the ingress queues at the line rate, a packet buffer that can store the network packets, and a sub line rate packet processing circuit that can process the network packets that are stored in the packet buffer. The line rate classification circuit can place a network packet on one of the ingress queues based on the network packet's packet contents. A buffer scheduler can select network packets for processing by a sub line rate packet processing circuit based on the priority levels of the ingress to queues.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a content based routing method and apparatus. The method may include: judging, in response to receiving a service request, whether the service request matches a preset shunt rule, the preset shunt rule including a request content and a request context; and forwarding, in response to judging that the service request matches the preset shunt rule, the service request to a service cluster corresponding to the preset shunt rule matching the preset service request.

Technologies for dynamic telematics message parsing include a telematics cloud server that receives a message definition and generates a dynamic message parser based on the message definition. The message definition may be a binary structure definition. A telematics device receives a message data payload from a peripheral device of a vehicle and then transmits a device message including the message data payload to the cloud server. The peripheral device may include a sensor or a controller coupled to the vehicle. The cloud server executes the dynamic message parser with the message data payload and generates a standardized data structure. The standardized data structure may be processed using a telematics cloud platform. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

An apparatus is provided for classifying content in one or more transactions. The apparatus includes a transaction boundary detector to detect boundaries of the one or more transactions associated with a first server or a first destination, wherein the one or more transactions include one or more requests from a client or a source and one or more corresponding responses from the first server or the first destination. A multimedia session generator generates a multimedia session object based on the detected boundaries of the one or more transactions. A multimedia classifier classifies the content associated with a first multimedia session. A traffic processing and policy enforcement unit applies traffic management to the first multimedia session based upon the classification.

The packet processing system, according to an example embodiment, comprises a Network Interface Controller (NIC) to receive and transmit network packets; a memory unit for storing network packets; a processor for processing network packets stored in the memory unit; a cache unit to access all data to the processor from the memory unit; and an application process running on the processing unit. The NIC includes a packet processing means to process the network packets received by the NIC. The packet processing means includes a Contiguous Header Mapping/Map (CHM) header-data splitter to split said network packets into a header portion and a payload portion; a table or equivalent to store the contiguous header-data split configuration data; and a packet Direct Memory Access (DMA) unit to DMA copy said header portion and said payload portion into separate memory area/location and contiguously map said header portion of network packets in the memory unit.

Various examples and schemes pertaining to simple Ethernet header compression are described. A first network node transmits a first packet with a full header to a second network node. The first network node determines whether a header compression context for the full header has been established by the second network node. In response to determining that the header compression context for the full header has been established by the second network node, the first network node transmits a second packet with a compressed header to the second network node. In response to determining that the header compression context for the full header has not been established by the second network node, the first network node transmits the second packet or a third packet with the full header to the second network node.
