Abstract: A data storage method and a data storage structure are provided. In one aspect, a method of storing data includes setting a first data node in a first storage area; setting a second data node in a second storage area; wherein said second data node is an element of a plurality of elements forming a first flat table of at least one flat table in the second storage area; and said step of setting a first data node includes storing in the first data node a two-tuple linker which comprises a first identifier indicating said first flat table and a second identifier indicating the row of said element in the first flat table. In another aspect a corresponding data storage structure is further provided. According to the present invention, it is able to achieve easily data chaining via a two-tuple linker in a special-purpose processor that does not support a pointer of memory address, thereby reducing requirements on space needed for data storage and enhancing efficiency of chaining each data segment.

Abstract: The present invention reduces the burden of the network having heavier load, maintains the load balance among different networks, and improves the overall resource utilization efficiency and transmission qualities of the networks, by providing a network forwarding apparatus for selectively distributing the IP packets to be forwarded to the network having less traffic for transmission by monitoring in real-time the traffic in the different networks.
