Abstract—High-speed routers often use commodity, fully-associative, TCAMs (Ternary Content Addressable Memories) to perform packet classification and routing (IP lookup). We prop...
Most high-speed Internet Protocol (IP) lookup implementations use tree traversal and pipelining. However, this approach results in inefficient memory utilization. Due to available...
Stringent memory access and search speed requirements are two of the main bottlenecks in wire speed processing. Most viable search engines are implemented in content addressable m...
As forwarding tables and link speeds continue to grow, fast packet forwarding becomes increasingly challenging for enterprise edge routers. Simply building routers with ever large...
This paper proposes a novel Internet Protocol (IP) packet forwarding architecture for IP routers. This architecture is comprised of a non-blocking Multizone Pipelined Cache (MPC) ...
