To compress a list of destination addresses (A.B.C.D, A.B.C.E, A.F.G.H) of a connectionless multicasted message, addresses (A.B.C.D, A.B.C.E) that have a common prefix (A.B.C) are replaced with a single compound address (A.B.CäD,Eü). This compound address (A.B.CäD,Eü) is constituted by the common prefix (A.B.C) and a list of suffixes (äD,Eü) of these addresses (A.B.C.D, A.B.C.E) that have a common prefix (A.B.C). The compression technique may be applied iteratively and in addition to reducing the overhead required for multicasting, enables faster routing table look-up. <IMAGE> |
