Rapid growth of the Internet traffic requires more bandwidth and high-speed packet processing in the Internet routers. As one of the major packet processing performed in routers, ...
New Internet services and technologies call for higher packet switching capacities in the core network. Thus, a performance bottleneck arises at the backbone routers, as forwarding...
—As data rates in the Internet increase, the Internet Protocol (IP) address lookup is required to be resolved in shorter resolution times. IP address lookup involves finding the...
The current Internet addressing architecture does not verify the source address of a packet received and forwarded. This causes serious security and accounting problems. Based on t...
Internet Protocol (IP) lookup in routers can be implemented by some form of tree traversal. Pipelining can dramatically improve the search throughput. However, it results in unbal...
