Abstract

Logic may store at least a portion of an incoming packet at a memory location in a host device in response to a communication from the host device. Logic may compare the incoming packet to a digest in an entry of a primary array. When the incoming packet matches the digest, logic may retrieve a full entry from the secondary array and compare the full entry with the first incoming packet. When the full entry matches the first incoming packet, logic may store at least a portion of the first incoming packet at the memory location. And, in the absence of a match between the first incoming packet and the digest or full entry, logic may compare the first incoming packet to subsequent entries in the primary array to identify a full entry in the secondary array that matches the first incoming packet.
