Subject: [PATCH] lpm: add new LPM v6 implementation (lpm6c)
Date: Mon,  3 Nov 2025 14:24:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251103132433.38627-1-alex@bisonrouter.com> (raw)

lpm6c is a new implementation of the IPv6 LPM algorithm, based on
the existing lpm module. It utilizes a trie path compression technique to
optimize lookup operations.

The implementation offers a performance improvement over the lpm
module starting from /64 and longer prefixes. This makes it beneficial
for use cases like BNG routers, whose FIB tables contain numerous /64
prefixes and primarily handle traffic targeting them.

Performance comparison results against the original LPM6 for lookups
at AMD Ryzen 9 5900XT CPU:

prefix /48 tests:
Speedup vs LPM6: LPM6c 0.991x, LPM6c VEC 0.921x, FIB 1.000x, FIB VEC 1.048x

prefix /64 tests:
Speedup vs LPM6: LPM6c 1.399x, LPM6c VEC 1.302x, FIB 1.145x, FIB VEC 1.292x

prefix /80 tests:
Speedup vs LPM6: LPM6c 1.620x, LPM6c VEC 1.558x, FIB 1.096x, FIB VEC 1.226x

prefix /128 tests:
Speedup vs LPM6: LPM6c 2.497x, LPM6c VEC 2.369x, FIB 1.255x, FIB VEC 1.349x
