Abstract
Analyzing on the distribute of IP address prefix in core routers,this paper describes an improved algorithm for the longest matching prefix using binary search on hash tables organized by prefix lengths.It uses prefix expansion to reduce the numbers of the prefix length.Thereby,it decreases the number of hash tables and lowered the height of the search tree.The paper provides a concise and utility Marker store algorithm also,and gives some viewpoints for IPv6 routing lookups.
