Abstract
An embodiment of the invention provides a mechanism for measuring the performance characteristics of data sent across any communication path configured to carry data between two or more computational devices (e.g., local area networks, wide area network, virtual private networks, wireless networks, or any other type of interconnect mechanism). In a test environment, processing speed is a critical part of producing test equipment that can process network protocol data in real-time. Embodiments of the invention provide network test equipment with a methodology for performing enough lookup processing operations to keep up with the real time frame rates of a gigabit Ethernet network. This is accomplished in accordance with one embodiment of the invention by improving the performance of the connection lookup processor in test devices.
