Abstract
A packet network device includes a packet network processor memory system for storing information used to process and forward packets of information in and through the network device. The information is included in look-up tables whose entries can be mapped either horizontally or vertically into the memory system. In the event that the entries are mapped horizontally, a complete entry can be access at a single memory location and in the event that the entries are mapped vertically, the entries can be accessed at one or more memory locations.
