Use programmable logic to extract fields of interest (e.g., IP addresses, and port numbers) from the FIFO and clock them into
contiguous bits of a register. Use the register as the lookup key for the content
addressable memory.

Electronic memory circuits use a binary architecture, which means that the number of
addressable storage locations is a power of 2, and memory sizes are therefore not integer multiples (or fractions) of 1000, but of 1024.

In most computer systems, the smallest
addressable unit of memory is a byte (usually 8 bits).
