Content Addressable Memory (CAM) Based Hardware Architecture For Datacenter Networking

摘要

A communication protocol system is provided for reliable transport of packets. A content addressable memory hardware architecture including a reorder engine and a retransmission engine may be utilized for the reliable transport of the packets. In this regard, a reorder engine includes a content addressable memory (CAM) and one or more processors in communication with the CAM. The one or more processors are configured to receive a first set of data packets when executed by the one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to access the content addressable memory to process the first set of data packets. The one or more processors are configured to save data information of the first set of the data packets in the content addressable memory.
