Summary: | A software-defined network (SDN) system, device and method comprise one or more input ports, a programmable parser, a plurality of programmable lookup and decision engines (LDEs), programmable lookup memories, programmable counters, a programmable rewrite block and one or more output ports. The programmability of the parser, LDEs, lookup memories, counters and rewrite block enable a user to customize each microchip within the system to particular packet environments, data analysis needs, packet processing functions, and other functions as desired. Further, the same microchip is able to be reprogrammed for other purposes and/or optimizations dynamically. |
