摘要： A method for increasing the capacity of a connection table in a firewall accelerator by means of mapping packets in one session with some common security actions into one table entry. For each of five Network Address Translation (NAT) configurations, a hash function is specified. The hash function takes into account which of four possible arrival types a packet at a firewall accelerator may have. When different arrival types of packets in the same session are processed, two or more arrival types may have the same hash value.

摘要： A method and system for testing a plurality of filter rules in a computer system is disclosed. The plurality of filter rules are used with a key that is capable of matching at least one of the plurality of filter rules. The at least one filter rule corresponds to at least one action. The computer system has a cache including a plurality of bins and a decision tree. The method and system include searching a plurality of stored keys in the cache for the key. Preferably, this search of the cache for the key includes determining whether a stored key exactly matches the key. A plurality of stored filter rules corresponds to the plurality of stored keys. A plurality of stored actions corresponds to the plurality of stored filter rules. The cache stores each of the plurality of stored keys and at least one stored action in each bin of a portion of the bins. The method and system also include obtaining the at least one action from the cache if the key is found in plurality of stored keys and otherwise obtaining the at least one action using the decision tree. Preferably, searches of the decision tree and cache start simultaneously. The decision tree search is terminated if the key is found in the cache. The cache is written to if the at least one action is obtained using the decision tree, but preferably only if the at least one filter rule has a priority of one.

摘要： A method and system for determining whether to enforce a plurality of filter rules for a packet including a key in a computer network is disclosed. Each of the plurality of filter rules has a priority. The method and system include accumulating statistics for each of the plurality of filter rules. The statistics indicate a frequency of enforcement for each of the plurality of filter rules. The method and system also include placing the plurality of filter rules in an order for testing against the key. The order is based on the frequency of each filter rule of the portion of the plurality of filter rules. Consequently, more frequently enforced filter rules may be tested first.

摘要： A method and system for testing a plurality of filter rules in a computer system is disclosed. The plurality of filter rules is used with a key. Each of the plurality of filter rules is capable of being described using a plurality of bits corresponding to a portion of the key. The plurality of bits can include at least one binary value, at least one wildcard, and at least one boundary symbol. The at least one binary value can be a zero or a one. The method and system include selecting a portion of the plurality of filter rules that the key can match by testing part of the key against a portion of the plurality of bits and explicitly testing the key against the portion of the plurality of filter rules. A first bit of the portion of the plurality of bits has a first maximum number of the at least one binary symbol for the plurality of filter rules. Each subsequent bit of the portion plurality of bits has a second maximum number of the at least one binary symbol for a plurality of remaining bits and is selected based on testing of a prior bit. Preferably, the portion of the plurality of bits is tested using a decision tree which includes nodes corresponding to a second portion of the plurality of bits.

摘要： A method and apparatus for processing network frames using static and dynamic classifiers provides a flexible and modifiable frame classification system. Static and Dynamic classifiers are used in combination within a network processing system to provide the range capability and hardware assist capability of the static classifier, along with the incremental modifications possible with a dynamic classifier. The dynamic classifier is searched first for rules directing processing of a received frame. The static classifier is searched only if a dynamic classifier key for the frame is not found, or the dynamic key actions indicated that the static classifier should also be searched.

摘要： This process accepts rule domination declarations and subjects rules to a computer program which either finds a type of administrative error (cyclic domination) or assigns a priority number to each rule so that any two rules which intersect (some key fits both rules) have necessarily different priority numbers. In the case that priority numbers are assigned, the process goes on to check for a second type of administrative error, namely inclusion of a first rule in a second (every key which fits the first rule also fits the second), and with the second having higher priority (so that the first is never referenced). If neither error occurs, then the number of different priority numbers is minimized. Every key when tested by such a rule set with neither error must fit either no rules at all or must fit exactly one rule with highest priority. In the latter case, the action of the unambiguously determined rule can then be applied to the packet represented by the key.

摘要： A classification system includes a software managed tree testing bits from a key which labels an item. The bits are chosen by application of the Choice Bit Algorithm to the Rules in a Database of Rules. A controller including logic parses an unknown Key for bits to be tested in the decision nodes of a binary tree. Tests dictated by the tree are conducted in a predetermined way until all but one Rule from the database or all but a few Rules from the database are eliminated from consideration, whereupon the Key is fully tested by the one remaining Rule or in a lattice constructed of the remaining plurality of Rules, to determine an action to enforce on the item. Certain compare tests are used in the binary tree for the case that otherwise identical or similar rules are applied to integer ranges of key values which do not fall upon power of 2 boundaries. Furthermore, some very frequently occurring rules in such final tests might be designated as secondary rules, the remaining rules designated as primary rules, the entire decision tree recalculated using only primary rules, and the primary rules then connected to secondary rules only when logically necessary by means of a system of pointers making use of relative priorities of rules.
