In this research, we proposed a packet prediction method for PPCs (Packet Processing Caches), which increased the table-lookup throughput of an Internet router and reduced its power consumption. The method predicts packets which may arrive in the near future and caches their table lookup results by executing the table lookups in advance. As a result of this research, it was shown that the proposed method can achieve 1.38x table-lookup throughput with 74% power consumption compared to the conventional PPCs when the proposed method was adopted to the multi-layer PPCs, which were recently studied. Furthermore, it was shown that the proposed method can be implemented with approximately 1% of the whole circuit of a PPC.
