Abstract:

To solve the problem of route matching delay in the core routers, an unclassified Internet protocol (IP) address mode, classless inter-domain routing (CIDR), is introduced. By analyzing the CIDR list and referring to the non-keyword index method and the partitioned indexing algorithm in databases, a novel B-Tree algorithm with nonkeyword index which satisfies the requirements of the CIDR list is brought forward. This algorithm firstly makes a partitioned index on the set of all the prefix addresses in the CIDR list. Being partitioned, the CIDR list is changed into a B-Tree index structure. Then the algorithm does fast lookup in the CIDR list according to the non-keywords of the IP addresses. Simulation shows that the new algorithm meets the demand for the IP address fast lookup.

Key words: high-end router, classless inter domain routing list, index lookup algorithm
