Abstract
In some embodiments of the present invention, method of routing data packets using a pseudo-route are presented including: receiving a data packet, the data packet having a destination; calculating the pseudo-route, if the destination corresponds with at least one of a plurality of software routing table routes, the pseudo-route having a most specific non-overlapping route mask derived from at least one of a plurality of overlapping software routing table routes; and routing the data packet using the pseudo-route. In some embodiments methods are presented further including: selecting a most specific route from the at least one of a plurality of software routing table routes corresponding with the destination. In some embodiments methods are presented further including: programmatically entering the pseudo-route into a hardware routing table.
