High bandwidth content addressable memory (CAM) based hardware architecture for datacenter networking

A content addressable memory module in a computing system, comprising:

• a plurality of sub-content addressable memories logically partitioned from a reorder primary content addressable memory in the computing system;
• a plurality of sub-content addressable memories logically partitioned from a retransmission primary content addressable memory in the computing system;
• a plurality of searchable first-in first out (FIFO) interfaces configured to be in communication with respective sub-content addressable memories from the plurality of sub-content addressable memories of the reorder primary content addressable memory and the retransmission primary content addressable memory;
• one or more processors in communication with the content addressable memory module, the one or more processors configured to:
• receive a set of data packets;
• perform a lookup operation to access data entries stored in each of the sub-content addressable memories in one of the reorder primary content addressable memory and the retransmission primary content addressable memory;
• and
• perform an update operation at a selected sub-content addressable memory from the plurality of the sub-content addressable memories in one of the reorder primary content addressable memory and the retransmission primary content addressable memory.
