Abstract
A processor system suitable to provide an interface between networks includes a software programmable processor and a channel processor that receives data from a network and transforms data at commands from the software programmable processor. The channel can execute only a few simple commands, but these commands are sufficient for a wide range of systems. The commands include (1) a command to transmit received data, perhaps skipping some data; and (2) a command to transmit data specified by the command itself rather than the received data. The channel is fast, simple and inexpensive.
