SRAM is just normal RAM (address based lookups). It differs from DRAM in that it does not need to be periodically refreshed and can operate with lower access times. With faster RAM, regular data structures (e.g. trie) are fast enough for routing lookups. -- Chris Adams <cmad...@hiwaay.net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
