Abstract
Different frames received on a first port are processed by different processing channels in parallel. The processed frames are transmitted to a second port in the same order in which they were received on the first port. The ordering is maintained using a FIFO that receives the number of a processing channel whenever a frame is dispatched to the processing channel. The processing channels are selected to provide frames to the second port in the order of the channel numbers in the ordering FIFO.
