Abstract
Methods and apparatus for processing a plurality of sets of routing information received from corresponding ones of a plurality of neighbor nodes connectable to a router, the router having a plurality of memory units accessible via separate paths. The method comprises creating a respective plurality of non-identical routing information subsets from each of at least one of the received sets of routing information; accessing the plurality of memory units via the separate access paths; and storing the plurality of non-identical routing information subsets created from a given one of said received sets of routing information in respective ones of the plurality of memory units. By providing a distributed memory architecture for storing routing information, an increase in a router's memory requirements can be met by increasing the number of memory units.
