The routing architecture of the original 4.4BSD [3] kernel has been deployed successfully without major design modification for over 15 years. In the unified routing architectur...
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 ...
Abstract—High-speed routers often use commodity, fully-associative, TCAMs (Ternary Content Addressable Memories) to perform packet classification and routing (IP lookup). We prop...
