Abstract
A network device determines the presence of the pre-specified string in a message based on a sequence matching rule. A sequence represents non-contiguous portions of the message. A combination of content addressable memory, programmable processing units, and the programmable control unit may determine the presence of the pre-specified string in the message by comparing the non-contiguous portions of the message. Such an approach may reduce the computational resources required for searching the pre-specified string in the message.
