  Abstract

Packet processing speed of routers as well as transmission speed of physical links gives a great effect on IP packet transfer rate in Internet. The router forwards a packet after determining the next hop to the packet's destination. IP address lookup is a main design issue for high performance routers. In this paper, we propose a partitioned compressed-trie for speeding-up IP address lookup algorithms based on trie data structure by exploiting path compression. In the proposed scheme, IP prefixes are divided into several compressed-tries and lookup is performed on only one partitioned compressed-trie. Memory access time for IP address lookup is lessen due to compression technique and memory required for maintaining partition does not increased.
