We present an algorithmic framework for solving the packet classification problem that allows various access time versus memory tradeoffs. It reduces the multidimensional packet classification problem to solving a few instances of the one-dimensional IP lookup problem. It gives the best known lookup performance with moderately large memory space. Furthermore, it efficiently supports a reasonable number of additions and deletions to the rulesets without degrading the lookup performance. We…
