Yes, described in RFCs. > Started in RFC 1122 (or before), extended in many RFC's. Thanks IETF > members. If you mean rfc1812. That "longest match" algo: - is not the longest-prefix match algo - talks IPv4 only, - doesn't say how it "examines": it doesn't say bitwise compare - doesn't treat the fairly common case of multiple entries of same prefix same length, - does not treat the special default route - has no licensing scheme - and more. As written there it's hardly implementable in an interoperable manner (as compared to a much better of e.g. segment processing of IPv6 rfc2460 pp 16, or the C in rfc3174 SHA1). That spec works well by example: it gives good examples, although not any counter example.
