Abstract

Since Multi-way Search Tree reduces the number of the memory access by increasing the branch factor, it is considered a method to archive the high-speed IP address lookup. Using the combination of initial 16 bit may and Multi-way Search Tree, it also reduces the search time of If address lookup. Multi-way Search Tree consists of K keys and K+1 key pointers. This paper shows how the E update of Multi-way Search Tree which consists of the one pointer within a node can be performed. Using the one pointer within a node, it increases the number of keys within a node and reduces the search time of IP lookup. We also describes IP updating methods such as modification, Insertion and Deletion of address entries. Our update scheme performs better than the method which rebuilds the entire IP routing table when IP update processes.
