Abstract: A network device includes a routing information base including a first plurality of entries, a forwarding information base including a second plurality of entries; a forwarding information base entry optimizer that programs the second plurality of entries of the forwarding information base using, at least in part, the first plurality of entries; and a network processor that forwards packets based on the second plurality of entries of the forwarding information base. The second plurality of entries is less than the first plurality of entries.

Abstract: A network device includes a forwarding information base (FIB). The FIB includes a first number of entries and a default entry. The network device includes a routing information base that includes a second number of entries. The network device includes a FIB entry optimizer that ranks a first portion of the second number of entries based on access information of the first number of entries; ranks a second portion of the second number of entries based on access information of the default entry; and updates at least one entry of the FIB based on the ranks of the first portion of the second number of entries and the ranks of the second portion of the second number of entries. The first number of entries is less than the second number of entries.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that updates boot images of a network segment of a network is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device receives a configuration point for the network segment, where the network segment includes a heterogeneous mix of a plurality of network elements. For each of the plurality of network elements in the network segment, the device identifies a boot image for that network element corresponding to the configuration point and updates the network element. The boot image for a network element includes the software that network element runs and a configuration of this software.
