Abstract

A virtual reassembly system for use with a fast pattern processor and a method of operating the same. In one embodiment, the virtual reassembly system includes a first pass subsystem configured to convert a packet of a protocol data unit into at least one processing block, queue the at least one processing block based upon a header of the packet and determine if the packet is a last packet of the protocol data unit. The virtual reassembly system further includes a second pass subsystem configured to virtually reassemble the protocol data unit by retrieving the at least one processing block based upon the queue.
