Abstract
Packet classification, which is widely used on the Internet, is the core mechanism that enables routers to perform many networking services such as firewall packet filtering, virtual private networks (VPNs), network address translation (NAT), quality of service (QoS), load balancing, traffic accounting and monitoring, differentiated services (Diffserv), etc. As more services are deployed on the Internet, packet classification grows in demand and importance.
