Abstract
A frame receive queue may perform disassembly and validation operations on frames received by a node in a Fiber Channel network. The frame receive queue may store information used for later processing of the frames, e.g., header data and the first eight payload words, in an on-chip memory for fast processor access. The payload data for the frames may be stored in a larger, external memory.
