Abstract(in English) A fine-grain large-bandwidth communication, demanded future ubiquitous environment using high-speed Ethernet, requires the break-through of a router architecture. Tera-Gears are new router architectures supporting such a communication. In this report, a part of Tera-Gears, P-Gear is described. P-Gear is a network processor architecture consisting of Header Learning Cache and Header Reissue Handler for using localities of network traffic. They enable to forward a packet without an execution on a PU (Processing Unit) when the packet is needed a same process and the process was recently done by the PU. Therefore, P-Gear attains the fine-grain large-bandwidth communication because of its effective packet processing. Moreover Header Reissue Handler supports effective Header Learning Cache utilization and in-order packet forwarding.
