way making it possible to do efficient lookup and exact match.
This "extra information" stored in each node is the maximum hi
-(max_hi) value among all the nodes that are its descendents. This
+(max_hi) value among all the nodes that are its descendants. This
information can be maintained at each node just be looking at the node
and its immediate children. And this will be used in O(log n) lookup
for lowest match (lowest start address among all possible matches)
