Abstract
A network device provides a search key corresponding to a packet to a TCAM. The TCAM determines that the search key matches one or more search patterns stored in the TCAM. The network device selects one search pattern among the one or more search patterns at least by analyzing respective priority information associated with the one or more search patterns. The respective priority information indicates one or more respective priority levels that are independent from one or more physical locations of the one or more search patterns within the TCAM. In connection with selecting the one search pattern, the network device determines one or more actions to be performed on the packet by the network device, the one or more actions corresponding to the selected one search pattern.
