摘要
A method and a device for defining implementation of a look-up table for a network element of a software-defined network “SDN” is presented. The network element includes hardware for implementing the look-up table in two or more mutually alternative ways. The method includes selecting (301) an optimal, or at least a suitable, one of the mutually alternative ways to implement the look-up table on the basis of a) the hardware available for implementing the look-up table, b) information about one or more look-up keys, and c) at least one of the following: the maximum number of entries of the look-up table, an average time between successive look-ups, an average time between successive modifications of the look-up table. The method enables the network element to be configured in a way that the hardware resources of the network element are utilized in an optimal or at least a suitable way.
