ABSTRACT:
A network device comprising a content addressable memory (CAM), based on partitioning and the hole-filling technique, may utilize substantially less power by switching ON only the partitions that are being used. Also, the CAM may quickly add one or more new entries into the memory by consuming substantially less amount of time while updating the entries.
