Embedded databases play an increasingly important role in network infrastructure devices. Internet bandwidth is growing faster than CPU speed. But high-value applications can only be realized by managing much more data traffic at the network's edge. This requires rapid evolution of the fundamental edge infrastructure device, the IP router. To keep pace, routing table management (RTM) software within routers must respond quickly to changing protocol and provisioning requirements, but as demands increase, proprietary routing table implementations encounter limitations in scalability, extensibility, and ease of maintenance.

In-memory database systems (IMDS) within RTM software can overcome these barriers.

The same fundamental challenges are faced by other forms of network devices such as the 3G base station, residential gateway and protocol gateway, pointing toward their use of a RAM database for more efficient real-time data management

We invite you to read our white paper The Role of In-Memory Database Systems in Route Table Management of IP Routers and to learn why companies like F5 Networks and NextPoint Networks have selected the eXtremeDB small footprint real-time database for their network infrastructure devices.

The following figure shows the place for an embedded database in the overall RTM architecture.
