<p>The present invention relates to the field of an address seek process in an Address Resolution Protocol Translation Table and more specifically to a time-optimisation of such a seek process. The present invention concerns a method for seeking a first address of a first layer into a Translation Table from a second address of a second layer. Translation Table comprises a plurality of address pairs, each address pair comprising a first address of first layer and a second address of second layer. A current transaction field comprises a current address pair which comprises a first current address and a second current address. To this end, the method comprises the steps of:
- initiating a first comparison between the second address and the second current address;
- When the first comparison states that the second address and the second current address are different, updating the current transaction field with an address pair of the Translation Table which comprises the second address;
- delivering the current transaction field to first layer.</p> |
