High performance IP lookup circuit using DDR SDRAM

DDR-SDRAM based data lookup techniques are evolving into a core technology for packet lookup applications for data network, benefitting from the features of high density, high bandwidth and low price of DDR memory products in the market. Our proposed DDR-SDRAM based lookup circuit is capable of achieving IP header lookup for network line-rates of up to 10 Gbps, providing a solution on high-performance and economic packet header inspections.
