Abstract. Rule-based packet classification plays a central role in network intrusion detection systems such as Snort. To enhance performance, these rules are typically compiled int...
Signature matching, which includes packet classification and content matching, is the most expensive operation of a signature-based network intrusion detection system (NIDS). In t...
—Packet classification is important in fulfilling the requirements of new services such as policy-based routing in next generation networks. In this paper, we propose a novel bit...
