| Abstract | Internet routers and switches need to maintain millions of (e.g., per prefix) counters at up to OC-768 speeds that are essential for traffic engineering. Unfortunately, the speed requirements require the use of large amounts of expensive SRAM memory. Shah et al [1]introduced a cheaper statistics counter architecture that uses a much smaller amount of SRAM by using the SRAM as a cache together with a (cheap) backing DRAM that stores the complete counters. Counters in SRAM are periodically updated to the DRAM before they overflow under the control of a counter management algorithm. Shah et al [1] also devised a counter management algorithm called LCF that they prove uses an optimal amount of SRAM. Unfortunately, it is difficult to implement LCF at high speeds because it requires sorting to evict the largest counter in the SRAM. This paper removes this bottleneck in [1] by proposing a counter management algorithm called LR(T) (Largest Recent with thresh-old T) that avoids sorting by only keeping a bitmap that tracks counters that are larger than threshold T. This allows LR(T) to be practically realizable using only at most 2 bits extra per counter and a simple pipelined data structure. Despite this, we show through a formal analysis, that for a particular value of the threshold T, the LR(T) requires an optimal amount of SRAM, matching LCF. Further,we also describe an implementation, based on a novel data structure called aggregated bitmap, that allows the LR(T) algorithm to be realized at line rates. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
