Abstract
A comparand word is input to a plurality of hash circuits with each hash circuit responding to a different portion of the comparand word. The hash circuit outputs a hash signal which enables or pre-charges portions of a content addressable memory (CAM). The comparand word is also input to the CAM. The CAM compares the comparand word in the pre-charged portions of the CAM and outputs information responsive to the comparison. When Internet addresses are processed, the output information may be port information or an index for locating.
