Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for processing network packets is disclosed. A Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) architecture processor is disclosed. The SIMD processor includes several instructions designed specifically for the task of network packet processing. For example, SIMD add instructions for performing one's complement additions are included to quickly calculate Internet checksums. Furthermore, the SIMD processor includes several instructions for performing lane arithmetic.
