Abstract:
A flow identifier is stored in a memory to identify a network flow. The memory is capable of storing multiple flow identifiers for multiple flows. Packet statistics are collected for each of the flows. The packet statistics are compared and a flow identifier is subsequently selected and removed from the memory.
