Method and device for the processing of data packets
Résumé
Method of configuring a Trie-type associative memory for the processing of data packets on the basis of a set of rules, the Trie memory being used for the analysis of binary strings situated at defined locations in each data packet, each rule assigning an action (110-114) to a packet on the basis of the values of the said binary strings, the Trie memory including registers made up of a defined number of individual cells for receiving respective references, the method comprising the following stages:a-for each of the said locations, consecutive elementary intervals are defined covering binary-string values possibly appearing at the said location...(extract of claims)
