Abstract
A method of packet processing includes receiving a first packet that includes a header, the header having a plurality of fields, one of the plurality of fields being an identification field, determining an identification value for the identification field in the header of the first packet, determining whether the identification value of the first packet matches an identification value in a header of a second packet, and using another one of the fields in the header of the first packet to determine whether the first packet is a duplicate packet when the identification value of the first packet matches the identification value of the second packet.
