PREDICTION BASED METHODS FOR FAST ROUTING OF IP FLOWS USING COMMUNICATION/NETWORK PROCESSORS

摘要

Aspects of the disclosure pertain to a system and method for providing prediction based, fast routing of IP flows. A hash table-based mechanism is implemented by the system such that classification information obtained and/or utilized for a first packet of an IP flow is applied to subsequent packets of the IP flow, thereby promoting packet processing efficiency for the flow.
