Advanced Data Structures in Telecommunication

Lately, there has been an upsurge of interest in compressed data structures, aiming to pack ever larger quantities of information into constrained memory without sacrificing the efficiency of standard operations, like random access, search, or update. The presentation will demonstrate how compact data structures and data compression can benefit the networking community, by showing solutions to several emerging applications. For example, how to squeeze the IP Forwarding Information Base (FIB), the giant table consulted by IP routers to make forwarding decisions, into information-theoretical entropy bounds, with essentially zero cost on longest prefix match and FIB update.
