Abstract
A system (200) can provide data aggregation with a single primary table (206) formed in a content addressable memory (CAM) section (202). Within a primary table (206) CAM entries can be part of a primary table, one or more aggregate tables, or both. In one arrangement, valid bits in each CAM entry can indicate which particular schemes a CAM entry belongs to (primary table, or any of the aggregate tables). Associated data for each table can be stored in a RAM section (204) and can be accessed according to an offset address generated according to a scheme value (i).
