Abstract: A data transfer apparatus includes a first memory, a second memory, a search unit, and a data transmitting/receiving unit. The first memory holds information that associates a search key with an address. The second memory holds information that associates the address with verification information which is generated by a predetermined generation method based on at least a portion of the search key. The search unit generates the search key based on the received data, obtains, from the first memory, the address that is associated with the generated search key, obtains, from the second memory, the verification information that is associated with the obtained address, and verifies the verification information that is generated by the predetermined generation method based on at least a portion of the generated search key with the verification information obtained from the second memory. The data transmitting/receiving unit executes processing based on a result of the verification.

Abstract: A packet relay device has a packet receiving unit, a switch, a packet sending unit, an associative memory, and a packet search unit. The packet search unit has action registers which hold information specifying an action to be executed, holds address range information including consecutive address ranges of the associative memory and the action registers in association with each other, and registers a plurality of flow entries at a plurality of addresses in the same address range. The flow entries have conditions identifying the flows associated with the same action. The device inputs header information of the packets into the associative memory, determines the action to be executed in accordance with information read out from the action register corresponding to the address range including an address output from the associative memory, and executes the determined action.

Abstract: A communication apparatus comprises a CAM, an action determination unit, and a CAM diagnosis unit. The CAM includes, a plurality of entries each storing therein at least a portion of header information of frame, and a search circuit for each entry configured to determine whether or not a search key matches data stored at the entry. The search key is correlated with information indicating whether or not an entry matching the search key and an expected value of a search result including identification information of an entry matching the search key. The CAM diagnosis unit causes the CAM to search for an entry matching the search key. The CAM diagnosis unit diagnoses a failure occurring at the search circuit of an entry to be the test object when the result of the search does not match the expected value of a search result correlated to the search key.

Abstract: It is provided a packet transfer apparatus comprising: a packet reception part; a packet transmission part; a packet generation part for generating an own-apparatus-originated packet serving as a packet for instructing a predetermined operation and outputting the own-apparatus-originated packet; a packet search part for determining a content of flow control and searching for an output circuit; a search memory for storing the content of the flow control and information for identifying the output circuit outputting the packet; and a packet transfer processing part. The packet reception part determines whether the received packet is the own-apparatus-originated packet; and outputs a self-origination flag indicating a result of the determining and header information of the received packet to the packet search part. The packet search part determines the content of the flow control for the received packet by referring to the search memory based on the self-origination flag and the header information.
