Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: circuitry, comprised at least in part, in a network interface controller, to generate digests to be combined to produce a hash value, the hash value to be used to access one or more tuples in one or more databases, the one or more tuples comprising mutually-associated values that are associated, at least in part, with network entity destination information to be included in a packet that is to be transmitted in a network, the digests comprising at least one digest and at least one other digest, the at least one digest and the at least one other digest being generated based at least in part upon at least one CRC value and at least one other CRC value, the circuitry comprising cyclical redundancy check (CRC) generator circuitry to generate the at least one CRC value based at least in part upon at least one input string, the CRC generator circuitry also to generate the at least one other CRC value based least in part upon at least one other input string, the at least one other input string resulting at least in part from at least one pseudorandom operation involving, at least in part, the at least one input string.
