Abstract
In an example implementation, a method is provided. The method includes receiving at a switch a packet having a tuple, wherein the tuple comprises a plurality of fields, wherein the switch operates using a protocol that compares each one of the plurality of fields to a table of a plurality of tables in series. The switch compares the plurality of fields of the tuple to a single cache table instead of the plurality of tables in series. When a match is found, a plurality of actions associated with the plurality of fields of the tuple is accumulated. The plurality of actions is applied to the packet.
