Abstract:
The packet processing device is equipped with a rule table that holds rules for correlating information contained in each packet, a processing rule indicating first processing to be applied to the packet, and a processor identifier for identifying a processor that applies second processing to the packet; a rule extraction unit that extracts, from the rule table, a rule that corresponds to information contained in a subject packet, which is a packet to be processed; and a rule application unit that executes the first processing with respect to the subject packet according to the processing rule and sends a request to the processor corresponding to the processor identifier to execute the second processing on the basis of the extracted rule. In a packet transfer device equipped with multiple processors, a processor that executes the packet processing can be selected from among the multiple processors flexibly and quickly.
