Abstract

We present an algorithmic framework for solving the packet classification problem that allows various access time vs. memory tradeoffs. It reduces the multi-dimensional packet classification problem to solving a few instances of the one-dimensional IP lookup problem. It gives the best known lookup performance with moderately large memory space. Furthermore, it efficiently supports a reasonable number of additions and deletions to the rulesets without degrading the lookup performance. We perform a thorough experimental study of the tradeoffs for the two-dimensional packet classification problem on rulesets derived from datasets collected from AT&T WorldNet, an Internet Service Provider.
