Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus are provided for user programmable packet to connection translation. When a data block is received, a protocol type for the received data block is identified based upon the media connection or port number for the recevied data block. A connection identification is formed utilizing a header of the received data block, responsive to the identified protocol type for the received data block. An instruction array is used with an arithmetic logic unit (ALU). Different code sequences are loaded into the instruction array based upon the user configured protocol type for a media connection of the received data block.
