Re: Sequentially assigned IP addresses--why not?2000-08-11 22:40:04We seem to be talking 5-6 orders of magnitude in speed here. Even Moore's Law doesn't help in that range. I don't see why all this processing power is required. You look at the incoming address, you figure out which outbound path can handle that address, and you forward it. Simple. Even if the full address is a thousand digits long, you only have to look at the digits around your level to determine the next step in routing.
