ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention provide an Infiniband device having an input port for receiving a data packet. The input port is operable to extract a partition membership identifier from the packet; and to compare the extracted partition membership identifier to a partition membership table of the port to determine whether the packet breaches a partition group membership requirement. In some embodiments, the partition membership table is implemented as a content addressable memory storing a plurality of programmable bit masks.
