  MAC Address Table is a basic structure used to store MAC addresses and their associated switch ports for Ethernet frame forwarding in a Layer 2 network. TCAM is a specialized memory used for performing complex, high-speed lookups based on multiple criteria (like IP address matching, ACL rules, etc.) in Layer 3 and higher network operations.
