    摘要: A method for forwarding a packet may include generating, by a first hash function module, a first hash value based on data included within the packet. The method may also include generating, by a second hash function module, a second hash value based on data included within the packet. The method may additionally include determining, by a first hash region integral to a memory and associated with the first hash function module, whether an index location of the first hash region corresponding to the first hash value includes an entry. Moreover, the method may include determining, by a second hash region integral to a memory and associated with the second hash function module, whether an index location of the second hash region corresponding to the second hash includes an entry. The method may further include, in response to a determination that at least one of the index location of the first hash region corresponding to the first hash value and the index location of the second hash region corresponding to the second hash value includes an entry, forwarding the packet based on forwarding information included within the entry.
