Abstract

A parser engine programming tool configured to receive an input file representing a directly connected cyclical graph or tree of decision points for parsing a range of incoming packet headers, automatically generate all possible paths within the graph and thereby the associated possible headers, and convert the determined paths/headers into a proper format for programming memory of a parser engine to parse the determined headers (represented by the paths).
