12.1 SP functionality
12.1.1 Overview of SP
The SP (service processor) on a NIF is programmable and ready to process packets at high
speeds. Replacement of the SP firmware allows the NIF with an SP to support various
packet processing.
Packets are processed in the following manner.
The Device forwards packets received from another device to the SP.
The SP processes the packets according to the firmware.
The Device sends the packets forwarded from the SP to another device.
