Embodiment 1

[0067] combine figure 1 The TCAM-based area matching device shown in , the specific classification rule storage method is as follows Figure 2A The shown flowchart (embodiment one) includes:

[0068] Step 201, sort the rules in the rule base D according to the priority from high to low, such as R 0 , R 1 ...,,R n-1 .

[0069] Step 202, for each rule R i , perform prefix extension or Gray code conversion to get R i [0,m i ], and guarantee m i is an odd number, otherwise increase R i [m i ] = R i [m i -1].

[0070] Step 203, initialize TCAM index and rule table index, make TCAM-Index=0, Rule-Index=0.

[0071] Step 204, obtain rule index and TCAM storage position index according to TCAM-Index and Rule-Index, store the extended and converted rules corresponding to Rule-Index in TCAM according to each group of two, update TCAM-Index and Rule- Index, and then execute step 205.

[0072] Step 205 , judging whether the processing of the rule is completed: that is, judgin...

Abstract

The invention discloses a ternary content addressable memory (TCAM)-based range matching device and a TCAM-based range matching method, and belongs to internet high-speed message classification techniques. The device mainly comprises a TCAM memory cell, a logical judgment unit and an action unit. The method comprises the following steps of: A, performing prefix expansion or Gray code expansion on rule conditions in a classification rule base, and then compressing and depositing the rule conditions in the TCAM according to priority, namely depositing two expanded rules in a TCAM list item; and B, extracting a search keyword from the head part of a message, matching the search keyword with the TCAM to obtain a matching result index, and executing correlative actions according to correlative rules. Aiming at the problem of list item expansion during the range matching of high-speed message classification, by means of the device and the method, the space requirement of the TCAM is reduced and the power consumption of the TCAM is reduced at the same time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to Internet high-speed message classification technology, in particular to an area matching device and method based on ternary content addressable memory (TCAM). Background technique [0002] In the Internet routing and switching network equipment, by using the packet classification technology, the header information of the arriving packet can be matched with the rule conditions in the classification rule base, so as to realize the action of the classification rule according to the matching result, including File forwarding, discarding, queuing, etc., so as to realize functions such as access control, security filtering, and bandwidth control. Similar to the IP route lookup process, the packet classification function is located on the data plane of the network equipment. Since the packets need to be processed complexly, the performance requirements of the network equipment are very high. In addition, unlike IP routing lookup, whi...
