Abstract
Managing a position-dependent data set that is stored in a content addressable memory (CAM) array involves identifying an instance of a base position-dependent data set that exists in software, identifying an instance of an edited position-dependent data set that exists in software, determining differences between the instance of the base position-dependent data set that exists in software and the instance of the edited position-dependent data set that exists in software, and incorporating the differences between the instance of the base position-dependent data set that exists in software and the instance of the edited position-dependent data set that exists in software into an instance of said base position-dependent data set that exists in a CAM array.
