摘要
A network address associated with a packet is obtained at a search engine of a network device. The search engine includes a plurality of Bloom filters that represent prefixes of respective lengths in the routing table. Respective Bloom filters are applied to respective prefixes of the network address to determine a set of one or more prefixes for which a match potentially exists in the routing table. A number of accesses to the memory are performed using prefixes in set of prefixes, beginning with a longest prefix and continuing in decreasing order of prefix lengths until a matching entry is found in the routing table, and routing information for the packet is retrieved. If the number of performed memory accesses exceeds a threshold, the routing table is adapted to reduce a number of memory accesses to be performed for subsequent packets associated with the network address.
