1. A method to search for routing information, comprising:
receiving a packet having a network address;
generating an address identifier based on said network address; and
searching for routing information for said packet using said address identifier.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said generating comprises:
retrieving a first value from said network address;
comparing said first value with a predetermined value;
retrieving a second value from said network address if said first value matches said predetermined value; and
generating said address identifier using said second value.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein said second value comprises fewer bits than said network address.
4. The method of claim 2, further comprising generating said address identifier using said first value and said second value if said first value fails to match said predetermined value.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein said network address comprises a 128-bit address assigned in accordance with Internet Protocol Version Six.
6. The method of claim 2, wherein said first value comprises a prefix based on an aggregation identifier.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein said aggregation identifier comprises at least one of a top-level aggregation identifier (TLA), next-level aggregation identifier (NLA) and site-level aggregation identifier (SLA).
8. The method of claim 2, wherein said second value comprises an interface identifier.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein said interface identifier comprises a media access control (MAC) layer identifier.
