Abstract

The continuous growth of the routing tables sizes in backbone routers is one of the most compelling scaling problems affecting the Internet and has originated considerable research in the design of compacting techniques. Various algorithms have been proposed in the literature both for a single and for multiple tables, also with the possibility of performing address reassignments [1,5]. In this paper we first present two new heuristics, the BFM and its evolution called BFM-Cluster, that exploit address reassignments for the minimization of n
