Exploring TCAM and HBM in High-Performance Systems

This chapter examines Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) and High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) as crucial components in high-performance networking. It compares these memory types to traditional systems like DRAM and SRAM, focusing on TCAM's efficiency in parallel lookups and address retrieval. The chapter also discusses the challenges and design considerations involved in implementing TCAM technology in network operations.
