1. A method of providing stateful flow of a byte stream having portions across a plurality of related network packets in a packet parsing processor, the method comprising:

  • receiving a network packet having a portion of the byte stream;

    determining that the network packet is from the plurality of network packets based on header information in the network packet;

    retrieving a parsing context based on the header information, the parsing context comprising a current parsing state of the byte stream; and

    performing instruction-driver packet parsing on the first portion responsive to the current parsing state.
