Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods, systems, and computer readable storage medium directed to efficiently storing value ranges in TCAM or other memory are disclosed. Storing a range of integer values in a memory includes determining a subrange within the range, so that, in a first and a second plurality of bit subsequences from binary representations respectively of a start value and an end value of the subrange, all except at most one bit subsequence in the first plurality is either equal in value to a corresponding bit subsequence in the second plurality or has a value of 0 and a corresponding bit subsequence of the second plurality has a maximum value. The storing a range of integer values in a memory further includes forming a first bit string based upon values of the first and second plurality of bit subsequences, and storing the first bit string in the memory.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method for storing a range of integer values in a memory, comprising: determining a subrange within the range, so that, in a first plurality of bit subsequences and a second plurality of bit subsequences from binary representations respectively of a start value and an end value of the subrange, all except at most one bit subsequence in the first plurality of bit subsequences are either equal in value to a corresponding bit subsequence in the second plurali…
