Abstract :
In this paper, we present a label search engine for Multiprotocol Label Switching over ATM networks. By adding cache sorting logic, using a linear search with exponential insertion algorithm, the search engine can efficiently explore the temporal correlations among incoming labels as well as indirect data sorting, resulting in significant power saving and throughput increase. This search engine with 1024 data entries has been designed using a 0.18 um CMOS technology running at 200 MHz with total power consumption less than 2 W
