Supercharging IPv6 Lookups: PlanB Library Brings AVX-512 Efficiency to Production Systems

As IPv6 traffic scales, efficient longest-prefix-match (LPM) operations become a critical bottleneck for network performance. This portable, MIT-licensed implementation of the PlanB algorithm bridges the gap between research and production, offering a SIMD-accelerated B+-tree structure that significantly lowers the latency of large-scale routing tables.
