METHOD FOR CLASSIFYING A DATA SEGMENT WITH REGARD TO THE FURTHER PROCESSING THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for classifying a data segment (4) in connection with processing of the data segment in a data transmission unit (18). The data segment (4) comprises header information (12) of a data packet (10) of a capsulation network protocol. A parameter (20) for processing the data segment (4) is determined in accordance with a table item inside a lookup table (32) wherein the table item corresponds to a key (34e) determined for the lookup table (32).
