Abstract :
A reconfigurable memory architecture and lookup technique for IP packet forwarding engines is presented. This is a flexible technique that significantly elevates the scalability of the next generation network processors and other packet processing equipments, especially in terms of increased routing table sizes, increased traffic and bandwidth, increased frequency of route updates, and migration to IPv6.
