A high-speed system for processing a packet and routing the packet to a packet destination port, the system comprising: (a) a memory block for storing tabulated entries, (b) a parsing subsystem containing at least one microcode machine for parsing the packet, thereby obtaining at least one search key, (c) a searching subsystem containing at least one microcode machine for searching for a match between said at least one search key and said tabulated entries, (d) a resolution subsystem containing at least one microcode machine for resolving the packet destination port, and (e) a modification subsystem containing at least one microcode machine for making requisite modifications to the packet; wherein at least one of said microcode machines is a customized microcode machine.
