Abstract
The IP address lookup problem is to find the longest matching IP prefix for a given IP address from the routing table and has been a central bottleneck in speeding up the Internet. In this paper, we propose a new algorithm for this problem based on the segment tree data structure. Given n IP prefixes, our algorithm can do IP address in Ο(log n) time. It also handles the insertion and deletion of IP prefixes efficiently without rebuilding the total data structure.
