Abstract
Disclosed are techniques for implementing a device with memory comprising a data table, the data table configured to store a plurality of elements in buckets, wherein each of the plurality of buckets contains a plurality of elements. The memory can further comprise an indirection table, the indirection table comprising a plurality of bucket reference storage locations and a plurality of hash reference storage locations. The device can include processing logic configured to generate a plurality of hash values using information to be inserted into the data table and locate a hash reference stored in one of the plurality of hash reference storage locations corresponding to one of the plurality of hash values. The processing logic can further locate a bucket of the plurality of buckets corresponding to the one of the plurality of hash values.
