Algorithm Research of Managing TCAM Routing Entries Zhao Zhengrong , Li Peng , Lan Julong ( NDSC,Information Engineering University,Zhengzhou 450002,Henan ) [Abstract] Faced the bottleneck of traditional software mechanism of routing lookups,high_speed routers take the measure of hardware methods based on TCAM presently.But the request of longest_prefix matching brings out the question of efficient storage and updating.In this paper,we discuss the present updating algorithms based on TCAM,and emphasize the analysis and comparison of the emerging progress of the current research for the new direction.
