1. An integrated circuit apparatus for high throughput pattern matching in network applications, the apparatus comprising:

  • a rigid support member comprising a connector region, the connector region including a network connection region and a host connection region, the rigid support member having a selected width and a selected length, the selected width and selected length being adapted to couple via the connector region into a network system;

    one or more hardware modules disposed onto and coupled to the rigid support member, the one or more hardware modules including;

    a network interface module coupled to the rigid support member;

    the network interface module including one or more network interface ports;

    the one or more network interface ports being coupled via the connector region to a packet based network;

    the one or more network interface ports containing one or more ingress network ports;

    a network interface bus coupled to the rigid support member, the network interface bus being adapted to interface the network interface module;

    a network module coupled to the rigid support member, the network module being coupled to the network interface bus;

    a network event module coupled to the rigid support member, the network event module being coupled to the network module;

    a memory module coupled to the rigid support member, the memory module being coupled to the network event module and the network module, the memory module including a pattern memory, the pattern memory being associated with a plurality of pre-stored patterns;

    a host interface module coupled to the rigid support member, the host interface module being coupled to at least the network event module or at least the network module or both the network event module and the network module; and

    a host interface bus coupled to the rigid support member, the host interface bus being coupled to the host interface module, the host interface bus being capable of connecting to the host system via the connector region.
