Flexible Hardware Support for Gigabit Routing

Routers and Switches are key building blocks of global networks. Data rates in the range of multiple gigabit per second are flowing trough them and emerging router functionalities (active networking, layer 4 switching, ...) require fast and efficient routers. Therefore, hardware support is needed in order to speed up the performance critical forwarding task.
