    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.
