Wire-speed IP (Internet Protocol) routers require very fast routing table lookup for incoming IP packets. The routing table lookup operation is time consuming because the part of ...
Nowadays, the commonly used table lookup scheme for IP routing is based on the so-called classless interdomain routing (CIDR). With CIDR, routers must find out the best matching ...
We show that every function f implemented as a lookup table can be implemented such that the computational complexity of evaluating f m(x) is small, independently of m and x. The ...
A multigigabit IP router may receive several millions packets per second from each input link. For each packet, the router needs to find the longest matching prefix in the forw...
