Abstract

In the paper we review the possibility of using a block search method for network packets routing tasks in high-speed computer networks. The method provides minimization of hardware costs for large-scale routing tables. To support the maximum data transfer rate, it is necessary to perform real-time routing of packets. The existing solution presumes concurrent use of several routing devices. Each device performs independent search of records by the bisection method. However, if the channel rate exceeds 10 Gb/sec, and the number of routs exceeds 220, it leads to high hardware costs. To reduce hardware costs, we have suggested to use a modified block search method, which differs from the classic one by parallel-pipeline form of search. We have presented evaluation of the minimum field-programmable gate array hardware costs for the network packets routing task. Analysis of the results has proved efficiency of the suggested method in comparison with existing solutions. As a result, the hardware costs were reduced in 5 times.
