Abstract
Power management of a routing table, which comprises a plurality of hash tables, is provided by supporting various power domain configurations. Each power domain configuration can be associated with a different number of power domains than other power domain configurations. Each power domain can add vertical capacity to the entire routing table by adding a fixed number of buckets to each of the hash tables. Efficient power management can be achieved by switching between a lower power domain configuration and a higher power domain configuration during runtime based on the dynamic load conditions.
