IP address lookup is to determine the next hop destination of an incoming packet in the router. The address lookup is a major bottleneck in high performance router due to the increased routing table sizes, increased traffic, higher speed links, and the migration to 128 bits IPv6 addresses. IP lookup time is dependent on data structure of lookup table and search scheme. In this paper, we propose a new approach to build a lookup table that satisfies the memory constraint. The design of lookup table is formulated as an optimization problem. The objective is to minimize average depth from the root node for lookup. We assume that the frequencies with which prefixes are accessed are known and the data structure is level compressed trie with branching factor $\kappa$ at the root and binary at all other nodes. Thus, the problem is to determine the branching factor k at the root node such that the average depth is minimized. A heuristic procedure is proposed to solve the problem. Experimental results show that the lookup table based on the proposed heuristic has better average and the worst-case depth for lookup.

In this paper, we propose a decoding method using a balanced binary tree and a canonical Huffman tree for efficient decoding of Huffman codes. The balanced binary tree scheme reduces the number of searches by lowering the height of the tree and binary search. However, constructing a tree based on the value of the code instead of frequency of symbol is a drawback of the balanced binary tree. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a balanced binary tree is reconstructed according to the occurrence probability of symbols at each level of the tree and binary search is performed for each level. We minimize the number of searches using a canonical Huffman tree to find level of code to avoid searching sequentially from the top level to bottom level.

The Internet users want to get real-time services for various multi-media applications. Network traffic rate has been rapidly increased, and data amounts that the Internet has to carry have been exponentially increased. A packet is the basic unit in transferring data at the Internet, and packet classification is one of the most challenging functionalities that routers should perform at wire-speed. Among various known packet classification algorithms, area-based quad-trie (AQT) algorithm is one of the efficient algorithms which can lookup five header fields simultaneously. As a representative space decomposition algorithm, the AQT requires a small amount of memory in storing classification rules, but it does not provide high-speed classification performance. In this paper, we propose a new packet classification algorithm by applying a binary search for the codewords of the AQT to overcome the issue of the AQT. Throughout simulation, it is shown that the proposed algorithm provides a better performance than the AQT in the number of rule comparisons with each input packet.

In molecular biology, approximate subsequence search is one of the most important operations. In this paper, we propose an accurate and efficient method for approximate subsequence search in large DNA databases. The proposed method basically adopts a binary trie as its primary structure and stores all the window subsequences extracted from a DNA sequence. For approximate subsequence search, it traverses the binary trie in a breadth-first fashion and retrieves all the matched subsequences from the traversed path within the trie by a dynamic programming technique. However, the proposed method stores only window subsequences of the pre-determined length, and thus suffers from large post-processing time in case of long query sequences. To overcome this problem, we divide a query sequence into shorter pieces, perform searching for those subsequences, and then merge their results. To verify the superiority of the proposed method, we conducted performance evaluation via a series of experiments. The results reveal that the proposed method, which requires smaller storage space, achieves 4 to 17 times improvement in performance over the suffix tree based method. Even when the length of a query sequence is large, our method is more than an order of magnitude faster than the suffix tree based method and the Smith-Waterman algorithm.

Address lookup is an essential function in the Internet routers, and it determines overall router performance. In this paper, we have thoroughly investigated the binary-search-based address lookup algorithms and proposed a new algorithm based on binary search on prefix lengths. Most of the existing binary search schemes perform binary search on prefix values, and hence the lookup speed is proportional to the length of prefixes or the log function of the number of prefixes. The previous algorithm based on binary search on prefix lengths has superior lookup performance than others. However, the algorithm requires very complicated pre-computation of markers and best matching prefixes in internal nodes since naive binary search is not possible in their scheme. This complicated pre-computation makes the composition of the routing table and incremental update very difficult. By using leaf-pushing, the proposed algorithm in this paper removes the complicated pre-computation of the Previous work in performing the binary search on prefix lengths. The performance evaluation results show that the proposed scheme has very good performance in lookup speed compared with previous works.

In order to provide new value-added services such as a policy-based routing and the quality of services in next generation network, the Internet routers need to classify packets into flows for different treatments, and it is called a packet classification. Since the packet classification should be performed in wire-speed for every packet incoming in several hundred giga-bits per second, the packet classification becomes a bottleneck in the Internet routers. Therefore, high speed packet classification algorithms are required. In this paper, we propose an efficient packet classification architecture based on a hierarchical binary search fee. The proposed architecture hierarchically connects the binary search tree which does not have empty nodes, and hence the proposed architecture reduces the memory requirement and improves the search performance.

Recently So far Many low-cost mobile machinery have been produced. Those are being used for study and business. But those are some weak Points which are small-capacity storage and quite low-speed system. If we use general database programs or key-searching algorithm, It could decrease in performance of system. To solve those Problems, we applied CBDS(Compact Binary Digital Search) trie to mobile environment. As a result we could accomplish our goal which are quick searching and low-capacity indexing. We compared with some Java classes such as TreeSet to evaluation. As a result, the velocity of searching was a little slow than B-tree based TreeSet. But the storage space have been decreased by 29 percent. So I think that it would be practical use.

The XML is the new standard fir data representation and exchange on the Internet. In this paper, we describe a new approach for evaluating a path-oriented query against XML document. In our approach, we propose the Parallel Match Indexing Fabric to speed up evaluation of path-oriented query using path signature and design the parallel match algorithm to perform a match process between a path signature of input query and path signatures of elements stored in the database. To construct a structure of the parallel match indexing, we first make the binary tie for all path signatures on an XML document and then which trie is transformed to the Parallel Match Indexing Fabric. Also we use the Parallel Match Indexing Fabric and a parallel match algorithm for executing a search operation of a path-oriented query. In our proposed approach, Time complexity of the algorithm is proportional to the logarithm of the number of path signatures in the XML document.

long with the rapid spread of the Internet, a new class of commercial applications which process transactions with respect to electronic dictionaries become popular Typical examples are Internet search engines. In this paper, we present a new approach to achieving high performance electronic dictionaries. Different from the conventional approach which use Trie data structures for the implementation of electronic dictionaries, our approach used multi-dimensional binary trees. In this paper, we present the implementation of our electronic dictionary ED-MBT(Electronic Dictionary based on Multidimensional Binary Tree). Exhaustive performance study is also presented to assess the performance impact of ED-MBT on the real world applications.

Demand for better services in the Internet has been increasing due to the rapid growth of the Internet, and hence next generation routers are required to perform intelligent packet classification. For a given classifier defining packet attributes or contents, packet classification is the process of identifying the highest priority rule to which a packet conforms. A notable characteristic of real classifiers is that a packet matches only a small number of distinct source-destination prefix pairs. Therefore, a lot of schemes have been proposed to filter rules based on source and destination prefix pairs. However, most of the schemes are based on sequential one-dimensional searches using trio which requires huge memory. In this paper, we proposea memory-efficient two-dimensional search scheme using source and destination prefix pairs. By constructing binary prefix tree, source prefix search and destination prefix search are simultaneously performed in a binary tree. Moreover, the proposed two-dimensional binary prefix tree does not include any empty internal nodes, and hence memory waste of previous trio-based structures is completely eliminated.
