1. A method for content addressable memory (CAM) error recovery, comprising: detecting an error in an entry of a CAM; identifying an address of the entry in the CAM; copying data from the address in a backup random access memory (RAM) into the entry of the CAM to obtain a corrected CAM; clearing a results (first in first out) FIFO structure based on detecting the error; performing, using the corrected CAM, a match request stored in a replay FIFO structure to obtain a revised result; and storing the revised result in the results FIFO structure.
