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...
CAMs are the most popular practical method for implementing packet classification in high performance routers. Their principal drawbacks are high power consumption and inefficient...

—Packet classification is an enabling function in Internet routers for a variety of Internet applications. In order to classify Internet packets into flows, Internet routers must...
Applications in Computer Networks often require high throughput access to large data structures for lookup and classification. Many advanced algorithms exist to speed these searc...
