Technologies for distributed routing table lookup

One or more machine-readable media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that in response to being executed by an intermediate computing node of a distributed router, cause the intermediate computing node to:

• receive a network packet forwarded by an ingress computing node of the distributed router, wherein each computing node of the distributed router comprises a forwarding table to store a different set of network routing entries obtained from a routing table of the distributed router;
• examine the received network packet to determine a destination address associated with a target of the received network packet;
• and
• determine, based on the destination address and the forwarding table of the intermediate computing node, an egress computing node of the distributed router to transmit the received network packet.

An intermediate computing node of a distributed router for distributed routing table lookup, the intermediate computing node comprising:

• means for receiving a network packet forwarded by an ingress computing node of the distributed router, wherein each computing node of the distributed router comprises a forwarding table to store a different set of network routing entries obtained from a routing table of the distributed router;
• means for examining the received network packet to determine a destination address associated with a target of the received network packet;
• and
• means for determining an egress computing node of the distributed router to transmit the received network packet based on the destination address and the forwarding table of the intermediate computing node.

A method for distributed routing table lookup via a distributed router, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a first computing node of the distributed router, a network packet forwarded by a second computing node of the distributed router, wherein each computing node of the distributed router comprises a forwarding table to store a different set of network routing entries obtained from a routing table of the distributed router;
• examining, by the first computing node, the received network packet to determine a destination address associated with a target of the received network packet;
• and
• determining, by the first computing node, a third computing node of the distributed router to transmit the received network packet based on the destination address and the forwarding table of the first computing node.
