100GBPS security and search architecture using programmable intelligent search memory

摘要

Disclosed is a network computer system which may comprise a hardware processor which may comprise a programmable intelligent search memory for content search. The programmable intelligent search memory may perform regular expression based search. The programmable intelligent search memory may use at least one regular expression. The regular expression may be converted into at least one non-deterministic finite state automata (NFA) representing the functionality of the regular expression.
