Abstract
An apparatus and method for reducing a number of matched entries to more relevant matched entries. In routers, a destination Internet Protocol address of an incoming packet is matched to a router table of Internet Protocol address prefixes, yielding multiple matching entries in the router table. Less relevant matching entries that contain shorter Internet Protocol address prefixes are automatically removed, leaving only the entry including a longest matching prefix.
