Abstract

With the rapid growth of network technologies, many new web services have been developed to provide various applications and computing functions. These services rely deeply on the internet. Therefore, packet classification is an important issue of network security that typically adopts a flexible packet filtering system to classify each processed packet. Traditional packet classification requires hung computing time to process large amount of internet packets. Hence, we propose a GPGPU-based parallel packet classification method to decrease the computational cost. We also evaluate the performance of the proposed method with implementation on various memory architectures of CUDA device. The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve significant speed up over the sequential packet classification algorithms on single CPU.
