    Abstract: A network station scheduling a frame to be transmitted by a transmitter of the network station at a transmit time. The transmit time is based on a first clock. A request is then issued to a direct memory access (DMA) circuit to retrieve the frame from a system memory. An advance time offset associated with the first clock is determined based on an estimated DMA latency of the DMA circuit. A frame retrieved by the DMA circuit is provided to a staging circuit. When a time of a second clock reaches the transmit time of the frame in the staging circuit, the frame is transmitted at the transmit time. In an example, a time of the first clock is ahead of a time of the second clock by the advance time offset.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, network switch and computer program product for performing exact match lookup operations in a table. A hash of the lookup key is performed to generate a value which is used to identify a location in the hash memory space. The generated value is separated into a bucket row, a bucket column, a bucket plane and a secondary hash value, where the bucket row, bucket column and bucket plane are used to identify an originating home hash root bucket. The head entry on the collision chain of a hash root bucket identified via the secondary hash value that is a neighbor to the home hash root bucket is read to determine if an exact match of the lookup key exists. If the head entry exactly matches the lookup key, then a finding of an exact match of the lookup key is reported.
