A search engine for a network switch reads a routing table for an entry with a matching MAC or IP address. The routing table is contained in an embedded DRAM. The search engine and the embedded-DRAM routing table are integrated together on the same integrated circuit chip, allowing a very wide data path...http://www.google.fr/patents/US6308220?utm_source=gb-gplus-shareBrevet US6308220 - Circulating parallel-search engine with random inputs for network routing table stored in a wide embedded DRAM
