Improving traffic classifiers for active devices

摘要

Modern communication infrastructures are formed by devices which are able to process the traffic that crosses them. In this context an important work inside each active device is to classify the incoming traffic and send it towards its service. We present a report in advance regarding other implementations which is able to perform an independent packet classification with an excellent performance using runtime code generation techniques. This classifier is being used inside VAIN (virtual active independent node) our platform to build active networks. We also introduce some aspects about VAIN to understand how ITCAN performs its tasks in this environment.
