Abstract:
A network device allocates a number of blocks of memory in a ternary content-addressable memory (TCAM) of the network device to each database of multiple databases, and assigns unused blocks of memory of the TCAM to a free pool. The network device also detects execution of a run mechanism by the TCAM, and allocates, based on the execution of the run mechanism, one of the unused blocks of memory to a filter or rule of one of the multiple databases.
