DETERMINING ACTIONS TO BE IMMEDIATELY PERFORMED ON A NETWORK PACKET WITH AN APPLICATION SPECIFIC INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

In some examples, a network switch includes an Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), a processing resource, and a memory resource storing machine readable instructions. The instructions are to cause the processing resource to: accumulate an action set for a first packet received by the switch; fetch an action from the action set; determine, with the ASIC, whether the fetched action is to be performed immediately on the first packet; in response to determining that the fetched action is to be performed immediately, generate a second packet from the first packet; and output one of the first and second packets through an output port without further processing of the packet after generation of the second packet.
