Abstract
Exemplary methods include generating a plurality of prefix entries, wherein each prefix entry includes information for associating incoming traffic to a data structure. In one embodiment, the methods further include generating a plurality of data structures, wherein one or more of the plurality of data structures includes a reference to a master entry. In one embodiment, the methods further include generating the master entry, wherein the master entry includes information for determining how to use the data structures to forward incoming traffic to one or more of the plurality of other network devices.
Claims33
A method in a first network device that is communicatively coupled to a plurality of other network devices in a network, the method comprising:
- generating a plurality of prefix entries, wherein each prefix entry includes information for associating incoming traffic to a data structure;
- generating a plurality of data structures, wherein one or more of the plurality of data structures includes a reference to a master entry;
- and
- generating the master entry, wherein the master entry includes information for determining how to use the data structures to forward incoming traffic to one or more of the plurality of other network devices.
A first network device that is communicatively coupled to a plurality of other network devices in a network, the first network device comprising:
- a set of one or more processors;
- and
- a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium containing code, which when executed by the set of one or more processors, cause the first network device to:
- generate a plurality of prefix entries, wherein each prefix entry includes information for associating incoming traffic to a data structure,
- generate a plurality of data structures, wherein one or more of the plurality of data structures includes a reference to a master entry, and
- generate the master entry, wherein the master entry includes information for determining how to use the data structures to forward incoming traffic to one or more of the plurality of other network devices.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer code stored therein, which when executed by a processor of a first network device that is communicatively coupled to a plurality of other network devices in a network, cause the first network device to perform operations comprising:
- generating a plurality of prefix entries, wherein each prefix entry includes information for associating incoming traffic to a data structure;
- generating a plurality of data structures, wherein one or more of the plurality of data structures includes a reference to a master entry;
- and
- generating the master entry, wherein the master entry includes information for determining how to use the data structures to forward incoming traffic to one or more of the plurality of other network devices.
