This paper describes a new update algorithm for Internet Protocol (IP) forwarding tables. The update algorithm is so general that it can be combined with many IP address lookup alg...
The updates of router forwarding tables can be made faster using the Autonomous System number corresponding to a prefix as an intermediate number between the prefix and the next...
— Pipelined ASIC architectures are increasingly being used in forwarding engines for high speed IP routers. We explore optimization issues in the design of memory-efficient data...
IP address lookup is one of the most important functionalities in the router design. To meet the requirements in high speed routers consisting of linecards with 40Gbps transfer ra...
The forwarding paths in an IP network may change due to a link failure, network equipment maintenance, or reconfiguration of link weights. The forwarding tables in the routers need...
