Among the various options for implementing Internet packet filters in the form of Access Control Lists (ACLs), is the intuitive – but potentially crude – method of processing t...
Packet classification is widely used in various network security and operation applications. Two of the main challenges are the increasing number of classification rules, amount o...
Multi-field packet classification is a key enabling function of a variety of network applications, such as firewall processing, Quality of Service differentiation, traffic billing...
To protect a network, secure network systems such as intrusion detection system (IDS) and firewall are often installed to control or monitor network traffic. These systems often i...
Multidimensional packet classification has attracted considerable research interests in the past few years due to the increasing demand on policy based packet forwarding and secur...
Hash functions have a space complexity of O(n) and a possible time complexity of O(1). Thus, packet classifiers exploit hashing to achieve packet classification in wire speed. Esp...
In this paper we present an extension to an existing hash based packet classification technique in order to improve its performance in a distributed network access control environm...
A variety of network security services, such as access control in firewalls and protocol analysis in intrusion detection systems, require the discrimination of packets based on th...
Abstract. Packet classification is a fundamental task for network devices such as edge routers, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems. Currently, most vendors use Ternary Cont...
Today's routers need to perform packet classification at wire speed in order to provide critical services such as traffic billing, priority routing and blocking unwanted Inte...
