Abstract
To provide for fast access times with very large key fields, an associative memory utilizes a location addressable memory and look up tables to generate from a key an address in memory storing an associated record. The look up tables, stored in a memory, are constructed with the aid of arithmetic data compression methods to create a near perfect hashing of the keys. For encoding into the look up table, keys are divided into a string of symbols. Each symbol is assigned an index value, such that a modulo sum of index values for symbols of a particular key is a unique value that is used as an address to the memory storing the record associated with that key.

Multicast routing in internetworks and extended LANs

TL;DR: This paper proposes extensions to two common internetwork routing algorithms---distance-vector routing and link-state routing---to support low-delay datagram multicasting, and shows how different link-layer and network-layer multicast routing algorithms can be combined hierarchically to support multicasting across large, heterogeneous internetworks.

A trade-off between space and efficiency for routing tables

TL;DR: It is proved that any routing scheme for general networks that achieves a stretch factor k ≥ 1 must use a total of &OHgr; bits of routing information in the networks, which is a trade-off between the efficiency of a routing scheme and its space requirements.
