Abstract
A packet processor of a network device includes a first lookup engine that generates a first lookup key for a packet, performs a first lookup in a first database using the first lookup key, and in response to finding a match of the first lookup key in the first database, determines a plurality of processing actions to be performed for the packet. Each of multiple second lookup engines selectively performs a respective second lookup in a respective second database for the packet using a respective second lookup key, and ii) selectively determines, based on the second lookup, one or more processing actions to be performed for the packet. The second lookup engines skip performing the second lookups for the packet in response to the first lookup engine finding the match of the first lookup key in the first database.
