Abstract

A packet processing system including an encapsulator engine, and a packet pre-processor coupled to the encapsulator engine. The packet pre-processor calculates a variation between an input data rate and a pre-determined output data rate. The input data rate is based on a number of data read requests. The packet pre-processor compensates for the variation by modifying the number of data read requests.
