Abstract
A method comprises a cache manager receiving reference attributes associated with network data and selecting a replacement data location of a cache to store cache-line data associated with the network data. The replacement data location is selected based on the reference attributes and an order of reference states stored in a replacement stack of the cache. The stored reference states are associated with respective cached-data stored in the cache and based on reference attributes associated with respective cached-data. The reference states are stored in the replacement stack based on a set of the reference attributes and the stored reference states. In response to receiving reference attributes, the cache manager can modify a stored reference state, determine a second order of the state locations, and store a reference state in the replacement stack based on the second order. A system can comprise a network computing element having a cache, a cache manager, and a replacement stack. The cache manager can perform the method with respect to network data received by the network computing element.
