On that topic; I'm familiar with how TCAM can be used to accelerate 
routing lookups, but less so with SRAM. Is the SRAM used to implement a 
"simple" lookup table/tree, or does SRAM have some special properties 
that enable it to do fast routing lookups?

Just curious, if anyone has any pointers to how SRAM is actually used
