Abstract
A method and apparatus for converting digital data representations, such as network addresses of different computer networks. Input data, which in one embodiment includes a hexadecimal network address, contains a plurality of bytes, with each byte having a plurality of digits arranged in positions. A first set of digits from the bytes is selected having a first digit position. The digits in the first set are shifted to a second digit position to generate a first resultant. A second set of digits is selected having a third digit position. The digits in the second set are shifted to a fourth digit position to generate a second resultant. The first and second resultants are summed to generate a converted output network address.
