A New Efficient IP Address Lookup Based on Binary Search
نویسندگان
چکیده
IP address lookup is an important function in a router to settle overall performance of the router. Binary search on range is a useful algorithm based on binary search for IP address lookup. However, this approach requires a lot of memories for adapting binary search to variable-length prefixes. We propose the improved algorithm to reduce memory requirements than binary search on range dramatically by a different view of a range. It reduces the number of entries and the memory requirements for pointers by about 21% and 52% on average, respectively.

An Efficient IP Address Lookup Scheme Using Balanced Binary Search with Minimal Entry and Optimal Prefix Vector
Although IP address lookup schemes using ternary content addressable memory (TCAM) can perform high speed packet forwarding, TCAM is much more expensive than ordinary memory in implementation cost. As a low-cost solution, binary search algorithms such as a binary trie or a binary search tree have been widely studied. This paper proposes an efficient IP address lookup scheme using balanced binar...
متن کاملA Partitioned Binary Search Scheme on Multiple Trees for Efficient IP Address Lookup
IP address lookup is becoming critical because of increasing entries in a forwarding table, linespeed and traffic in the Internet. Binary search is the most popular scheme based on S/W implementation. This search scheme has problems according to the parentchild relationship of prefixes. In this paper, we proposed the partitioned binary search scheme to split the parentchild relationship. All pr...
متن کاملA New Efficient Binary Search on Range for IP Address Lookup
IP address lookup is an important function to meet such requirements as high speed, memory size and low power for the overall performance of the routers. The biggest problem of IP address lookup is that prefixes has a variable length so that longest prefix match should be employed for IP address lookup. Binary search is useful to decrease search times. But binary search is only adaptable to an ...

Due to a tremendous increase in internet traffic, backbone routers must have the capability to forward massive incoming packets at several gigabits per second. IP address lookup is one of the most challenging tasks for high-speed packet forwarding. Some high-end routers have been implemented with hardware parallelism using ternary content addressable memory (TCAM). However, TCAM is much more ex...
متن کاملA High Performance Parallel IP Lookup Technique Using Distributed Memory Organization and ISCB-Tree Data Structure
The IP Lookup Process is a key bottleneck in routing due to the increase in routing table size, increasing traıc and migration to IPv6 addresses. The IP address lookup involves computation of the Longest Prefix Matching (LPM), which existing solutions such as BSD Radix Tries, scale poorly when traıc in the router increases or when employed for IPv6 address lookups. In this paper, we describe a ...
