On Dynamic Optimization of Packet Matching in High Speed Firewalls
Overview Packet matching plays a critical role in the performance of many network devices and a tremendous amount of research has already been invested to come up with better optimized packet filters. However, most of the related works use deterministic techniques and do not exploit the traffic characteristics in their optimization schemes. In addition, most packet classifiers give no specific consideration for optimizing packet rejection, which is important for many filtering devices like firewalls. This paper presents a novel algorithm for maximizing early rejection of unwanted flows with minimal impact on other flows.
