EFFICIENT PACKET CLASSIFICATION FOR DYNAMIC CONTAINERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240031458 titled 'EFFICIENT PACKET CLASSIFICATION FOR DYNAMIC CONTAINERS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of the patent application describes a novel algorithm for packet classification. The algorithm is based on a unique search structure for packet classification rules, where addresses from all containers are merged and maintained in a single trie. Each entry in the trie contains additional information that can be traced back to the container from where the address originated. This information is used to keep the trie in sync with the containers when the container definition dynamically changes.
- The algorithm is based on a novel search structure for packet classification rules.
- Addresses from all containers are merged and maintained in a single trie.
- Each entry in the trie has additional information that can be traced back to the container of origin.
- The trie is kept in sync with the containers when the container definition changes dynamically.
Potential Applications:
- Network traffic management and routing
- Firewall and security systems
- Quality of Service (QoS) management
- Intrusion detection and prevention systems
Problems Solved by this Technology:
- Efficient packet classification and routing
- Handling dynamic changes in container definitions
- Reducing complexity and improving performance of network systems
Benefits of this Technology:
- Improved efficiency and performance in packet classification
- Simplified management of container definitions
- Enhanced scalability and flexibility in network systems
- Better utilization of network resources
Original Abstract Submitted
a novel algorithm for packet classification that is based on a novel search structure for packet classification rules is provided. addresses from all the containers are merged and maintained in a single trie. each entry in the trie has additional information that can be traced back to the container from where the address originated. this information is used to keep the trie in sync with the containers when the container definition dynamically changes.
