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 trend of the networking processing is to increase the intelligence of the routers (i.e. security capacities). This means that there is an increment in the workload generated p...
Wire-speed IP (Internet Protocol) routers require very fast routing table lookup for incoming IP packets. The routing table lookup operation is time consuming because the part of ...
Increasingly tight energy design goals require processor architects to rethink the organizational structure of microarchitectural resources. In this paper, we examine a new multila...
Abstract--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 opti...
