Abstract
Methods and apparatus for loading a security algorithm in a fast path of a network processor are disclosed. In an example method, a network processor generates a statistic associated with a plurality of communication packets received by the network processor, determines a security attack on the network processor is in progress based on the statistic and loads the security algorithm in the fast path of the network processor.
