Abstract:
Entropy in routing tables may be increase to perform packet forwarding. Hash tables that store forwarding routes may be divided into multiple hash table segments. Forwarding routes may be stored across the hash table segments in different route segments. When looking up route segments to identify a forwarding route for a destination address of a network packet, digest values generated for previous route segments may be used to determine hash key values to identify hash table entries in a different hash table segment. The forwarding route may be identified according to the hash table entries located based on the digest values for previous route segments.

Claim (Index 5):
A method, comprising:\n receiving a network packet at a packet processor; dividing, by the packet processor, a destination address for the network packet into different segments corresponding to different hash table segments of a hash table storing forwarding routes according to a hash scheme; determining, by the packet processor, respective hash key values for the different segments according to the hash scheme, wherein the respective hash key values for those segments of the destination address subsequent to a most significant segment of the destination address are determined based on a digest value generated for a previous segment of the destination address; accessing, by the packet processor, the hash table segments according to the respective hash keys to evaluate different hash table entries in order to identify a forwarding route for the network packet; and forwarding the network packet according to the identified forwarding route.
