Abstract
The method of creating a key entry includes inserting a routing instance identifier (RII) after at least a portion of a key entry of a routing instance (RI) FIB, in accordance with an encoding scheme. In other words, at least a portion of bits of the RI FIB key entry is located before bit(s) of the RII in the resulting, merged FIB key entry. Depending on the encoding scheme, the RII can be inserted at the end of the RI FIB key entry, or at an intermediary location within the RI FIB key entry (after a given number of bits). To form the merged FIB, the method is repeated multiple times on corresponding key entries of the RI FIB. There is also provided a method of creating a search key to lookup the merged FIB.
