Abstract(in English) Ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) is becoming very popular for designing high-throughput forwarding engines on routers. However, TCAM has potential problems in terms of hardware cost and energy consumption, which limits it deploying large amounts of capacity. In this paper, we propose a new hardware architecture for a fast forwarding engine that fundamentally solves the potential problems of TCAM. We also develop a hardware design for our architecture. Our results show that the proposed hardware significantly reduces hardware cost and power consumption.
