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...
The Sony–Toshiba–IBM Cell Broadband Engine (Cell/B.E.) is a heterogeneous multicore architecture that consists of a traditional microprocessor (PPE) with eight SIMD co-process...
