Abstract

The subject technology is directed to an apparatus for packet processing in a network. In an embodiment, the apparatus comprises a first port configured to receive a first packet. The apparatus further comprises a processor coupled to the first port, the processor configured to generate a first metadata associated with the first packet and determine a first size of the first metadata. The apparatus also includes a buffer coupled to the processor, which is configured to store the first packet and the first metadata. Based on a determination that the first size exceeds a predefined threshold, the processor is further configured to move a portion of the first packet to accommodate the larger metadata. This configuration allows for dynamic adjustment of packet data and metadata storage, optimizing the handling of packets with varying metadata requirements. There are other embodiments as well.
