4.5 Classification Interrupts

The classification engine has an interrupt feature. The interrupt can be programmed to identify certain
types of frames or payloads and trigger an interrupt in the event that such a frame or payload is received.
The implementation of this feature is highly application dependent and there is no specified procedure at
this time. In order for an application to leverage this feature, the driver must provide a way for the
application to set its own CAM rules, possibly with the interrupt bit set, and register some type of call back
routine with the interrupt service routine so that the application is notified when the classification interrupt
is received.
