Abstract

A parsing apparatus includes an interface, a first parser, a second parser and a controller. The interface is configured to receive packets belonging to a plurality of predefined packet types. The first parser is configured to identify any of the packet types. The second parser is configured to identify only a partial subset of the packet types. The controller is configured to receive a packet via the interface, to attempt identifying a packet type of the received packet using the second parser, and in response to detecting that identifying the packet type using the second parser fails, to revert to identify the packet type of the received packet using the first parser.
