Abstract
Traditional networks make routing decisions based only on the destination address. This dramatically limits the number of ser-vices that a network can provide. However, in some of them, the demand for more flexible routing protocols has increased. For example, home and enterprise networks, as well as datacenters, need to support multi-homing and/or role-based access control. This is where two-dimensional forwarding tables step in. In this approach, routing decisions are based on the destination and the source addresses. However, this will increase the lookup time and make the memory use skyrocket if implemented carelessly. In this paper, we evaluate and compare different designs to find the best way to tackle this problem.
