A network device is operative to perform different network operations on a packet of data in a network. The packet of data has a packet payload comprising one or more encoded characters. A lookup table comprises a plurality of table entries. Packet processing circuitry coupled to the lookup table determines which of the different network operations to perform on the packet of data at least in part by addressing the lookup table with a table input. The table input comprises one or more characters from the packet payload. The table entry corresponding to the table input is determined by a longest prefix match algorithm.
