Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices are provided for managing hash table lookups. In certain network devices, a hash table having multiple buckets may be allocated for network socket lookups. Network socket information for multiple open network socket connections may be distributed among the buckets of the hash table. For each of the buckets of the hash table, at least a subset of the network socket information that is most likely to be used may be identified, and the identified subset of most likely to be used network socket information may be promoted at each bucket to a position having a faster lookup time than a remaining subset of the network socket information at that bucket.
