Abstract
A flow based network switch function is based on a route cache and flow detect logic which generates hash codes for use in accessing the route cache. Flow detect logic is implemented with read-write register functions. A network switch which comprises a port for access to a communication medium to receive incoming frames. A route table memory has a set of accessible locations for storing routing information. The set of accessible locations is addressable in response to N bits, and locations in the set store a tag comprising M bits for identifying a network flow. Routing information is also stored in each of the accessible locations for the identified network flow. Flow detect logic is coupled with a port and monitors frames received by the port generate and N bit address, and an identifying tag comprising M bits for use in accessing the route table memory in response to an incoming frame on the port. Match logic is coupled with the route table memory and the flow detect logic, which accesses a particular location in the set of accessible locations in the route table memory in response to the N bit address, compares the identifying tag with the tag stored in the particular location to determine whether the incoming frame matches the network flow identified by the stored tag, and supplies the routing information for level 3 or higher stored in the particular location if a match occurs. If a match does not occur, a route table miss is indicated, and the frame is forwarded to multi-protocol routing algorithms for the purpose of generating the routing information for the incoming frame.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
