Abstract
A method and apparatus for receiving packets from a bus. A packet is received at an interface to the bus. The packet is parsed, and a determination is made whether to retain the packet from the parsing of the packet. The packet is placed in a buffer with a header. The packet is moved from the buffer to another bus using information located within the header, wherein repeated parsing of the packet to move the packet to another bus is unnecessary.
