Abstract
A method for storing and updating records in a first table containing information corresponding to specific nodes of a network, and in a second table containing information corresponding to a combination of two specific nodes on a network, by indexing the first table with hashed forms of the node addresses, and the second table with hashed forms of a concatenation of the two node addresses, interleaving reads between the two tables to account for memory latency, and using the results of previous reads to reduce the number of future reads necessary for locating and updating the tables' records.
