Doing 8+1+1+1+1+... would seem wasteful for IPv6 with the current address allocation scheme, are you sure that´s what´s used for IPv6 too?I'm not. Juniper isn't very open about this matter, and I only got confirmation of that for IPv4.
Hrm, I could have sworn it was actually 16-1-1-1-1-etc for the trie lookup primitive on the IP2. But alas I am not an ASIC designer, nor do I work for Juniper, nor am I in any way qualified to do anything other than talk out my ass about the benefits and drawbacks of any specific bit groupings in a multi-bit trie implementation in hardware. So unlike the rest of the list, I will quit while I am ahead. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras () e-gerbil net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
