Content-addressable memory (CAM) and associative memory (AM) are types of storage
structures that allow searching by content as opposed to searching by address. Such …

Software-Defined Networking offers the appeal of a simple, centralized programming model
for managing complex networks. However, challenges in managing low-level details, such …

Although there are many advanced and specialized texts and handbooks on algorithms,
until now there was no book that focused exclusively on the wide variety of data structures …

Ternary content-addressable memories (TCAMs) are becoming very popular for designing
high-throughput forwarding engines on routers: they are fast, cost-effective and simple to …

As the broadband access technologies, such as DSL, cable modem, and gigabit Ethernet,
are providing affordable broadband solutions to the Internet from home and the enterprise, it …

As one of the fundamental infrastructures for cloud computing, data center networks (DCN)
have recently been studied extensively. We currently use pure software-based systems …

Software-defined network (SDN) is deemed to enable more dynamic management of data
center networks that promptly respond to network events with changes in network policies …

In modern IP routers, Internet protocol (IP) lookup forms a bottleneck in packet forwarding
because the lookup speed cannot catch up with the increase in link bandwidth. Ternary …

Pipelined ASIC architectures are increasingly being used in forwarding engines for high-
speed IP routers. We explore optimization issues in the design of memory-efficient data …

Using ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) for high-speed IP address lookup has
been gaining popularity due to its deterministic high performance. However, restricted by the …
