Table 12-1 lists and describes the recommended CAM-profile templates. In general, non-default profiles
allocate more space to particular regions to accommodate specific applications. The size of the partitions is
measured in entries. The total CAM space is finite, therefor adding entries to one region necessarily
decreases the number available to other regions.
Default CAM-profile
The size of CAM partitions is measured in entries. Table 12-2 shows the number of entries available in
each partition for the Default CAM profile.
