A hardware-assisted design, dubbed cache-oriented multistage structure (COMS), is proposed for fast packet forwarding. COMS incorporates small on-chip cache memory in its constitu...
As forwarding tables and link speeds continue to grow, fast packet forwarding becomes increasingly challenging for enterprise edge routers. Simply building routers with ever large...
High performance routers require substantial amounts of memory to store packets awaiting transmission, requiring the use of dedicated memory devices with the density and capacity ...

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...
One of the key design issues for the new generation IP routers is the route lookup mechanism. For each incoming IP packet, the IP routing requires to perform a longest prefix match...
