Abstract:
Effective data distribution without special hardware such as CAM. A unique Route ID in the network is used to determine the destinations for a sent packet. On creating the routing information for the Route ID, each node in the network creates an entry in its own forwarding table within the node. A linear memory offset in the table, called LookUp ID, is used to access the entry. By exchanging the LookUp ID with neighboring nodes and updating the forwarding table entry, the packet distribution path can be determined for the given Route ID. When a packet is sent for the given Route ID, each node updates the predetermined field in the packet with neighbor LookUp ID and sends it to the neighbor node, so the neighbor node can access its own entry as a regular memory access with the LookUp ID to determine where to forward the packet.

Claim (Index 1):
A computer-implemented method for controlling packet transfer in a data communication network where nodes are connected to each other with point to point communication links to form a mesh network, the method for a packet reaching a destination node comprising the steps of:\n allocating a unique table entry for given logical routing address on each node; exchanging a table entry memory address offset with neighbor nodes within a routing path in the mesh network; holding the neighbor node entry offset in a corresponding table entry; and upon transferring a packet according to the logical address, the source node finds the routing table entry associated with the logical address and update the specific field on the packet with the table offset value for the neighbor node, wherein the node on the path uses the field on the received packet to lookup its own table entry, updates the field with a neighbor value on the packet, and forwards the packet.
