Abstract
An NFA hardware engine includes a pipeline and a controller. The pipeline includes a plurality of stages, where one of the stages includes a transition table. Both a first automaton and a second automaton are encoded in the same transition table. The controller receives NFA engine commands onto the NFA engine and controls the pipeline in response to the NFA engine commands.
