APPARATUS FOR TCP AND UDP SOCKET SEARCH

摘要

A socket searching device for a TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) and a UDP(User Datagram Protocol) is provided to use binary search algorithm in order to reduce socket searching time, and to realize the binary search algorithm in hardware type, in order to quickly conduct a socket searching process, thereby carrying out a fast protocol processing function. A master module(201) interprets command information received from a processor to deliver a command to a tree table module(203) and a branch table module(202), and receives results from the branch table module(202) and the tree table module(203) to report the results to the processor. The branch table module(202) receives the command from the master module(201), and manages a branch table. The tree table module(203) manages a binary tree.
