ABSTRACT:
An architecture and method for efficient termination of variable length keys in a PATRICIA trie is disclosed. By adding a null-labeled link, it is possible to terminate such variable length PATRICIA trie nodes, allowing to overcome the need for complex termination solutions. Specifically, a ternary PATRICIA block is introduced.
