Bypass route cache for a network on a chip

Abstract

Methods, devices, and systems for information routing. A destination indication corresponding to data is received. The data is transmitted on a routing path based on routing information retrieved from a routing table bypass that includes a routing cache and a match mask. In some implementations, the destination indication comprises at least a portion of a network address. Some implementations include bypassing a routing table based on the routing information being present in the routing cache or the match mask. In some implementations, a total number of entries of the routing cache is fewer than a number of addresses in a working set. In some implementations, the match mask is dynamically programmable. In some implementations, an entry of the match mask includes a bit mask, a bit match and a routing destination associated with at least a portion of an address. In some implementations, the data comprises a packet.
