Hardware Based Packet Classification for High Speed Internet Routers presents the most recent
developments in hardware based packet classification algorithms and architectures. This book
describes five methods which reduce the space that classifiers occupy within TCAMs TCAM Razor
All-Match Redundancy Removal Bit Weaving Sequential Decomposition and Topological
Transformations. These methods demonstrate that in most cases a substantial reduction of space
is achieved. Case studies and examples are provided throughout this book. About this book: -
