Abstract:
A network switch comprising: a first data transmitting module, configured to receive first input data and to generate a first updating request based on first updating information, wherein the first updating request indicates which address of data base stored in a storage unit is requested to be updated; and a first monitoring module, configured to modify the first updating information according to the first updating request.
Abstract:
A network device is provided. The network device includes: a hash memory and a controller. The hash memory has a plurality of hash tables, wherein each hash table includes a plurality of entries, and each entry in each hash table has a signature field, and a key field. The controller is configured to map a search key to a plurality of entries of the hash tables and perform longest prefix matching (LPM) on the search key based on the signature field and the key field of each mapped entry in the mapped hash tables.
Abstract:
A network switch comprising: a first storage unit, configured to store a first data base; a first buffer, configured to buffer data to be updated; and an update managing module, configured to assign a first update address of the first storage unit, which is for the data to be updated, according to first buffer information for the first buffer and a first update request.
