- receiving a packet having a network address;
- generating an address identifier based on said network address;
- and
- searching for routing information for said packet using said address identifier.
1 more element
A routing apparatus, comprising:
- a receive interface to receive a packet with a network address;
- an address identifier generator to generate an address identifier based on said network address;
- and
- a routing module to retrieve routing information using said address identifier.
1 more element
A system to perform routing in a network, comprising:
- a source node to send a packet using a network address;
- a destination node corresponding to said network address to receive said packet;
- and
- an intermediate node to route said packet between said source node and said destination node, said intermediate node having a routing apparatus to route said packet using an address identifier generated from said network address.
1 more element
An article comprising:
- a storage medium;
- said storage medium including stored instructions that, when executed by a processor, result in searching for routing information by receiving a packet having a network address, generating an address identifier based on said network address, and searching for routing information for said packet using said address identifier.
