Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method within a hybrid ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) includes comparing a first portion of a search word to a first portion of a stored word in a first TCAM stage. The method further includes interfacing an output of the first TCAM stage to an input of the second TCAM stage. The method also includes comparing a second portion of the search word to a second portion of the stored word in a second TCAM stage when the first portion of the search word matches the first portion of the stored word. The first TCAM stage is different from the second TCAM stage.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method within a hybrid ternary content addressable memory (TCAM), the method comprising: comparing a first portion of a search word to a first portion of a stored word in a first TCAM stage; and comparing a second portion of the search word to a second portion of the stored word in a second TCAM stage when the first portion of the search word matches the first portion of the stored word, the first portion of the search word being different than the secon…
