Parallel String Matcher (PSM)

The Parallel String Matcher (PSM) is a scalable solution for high performance network processing related search and lookup functions. It is available as a generic Silicon Intellectual Property (SIP), implementable on FPGA and standard-cell ASIC technology. The PSM is capable of speeds of up to 40Gb/s and provides a single chip solution to search and lookup requirements for next generation networks. Applications include; pattern matching for deep packet inspection, flow classification, TCP/IP header lookup (5-tuple lookup) and content/URL inspection and filtering.

 

Key benefits include:

  • Up to 40Gb/s single chip solution
  • Low power consumption for power constrained applications
  • Permits the design of cost sensitive offload lookup circuits
  • Adaptable to most memory technologies (SRAM, QDR, RLD, DDR)

Application areas include:

  • Pattern matching for deep packet inspection,
  • Flow classification (beyond 8 million flows)
  • TCP/IP header lookup (5-tuple lookup)
  • Content/URL inspection and filtering
  • Address translation
  • CAM emulation
