Regular expression (RegEx) matching has been widely used in various networking and security applications. Despite much effort on this important problem, it remains a fundamentally difficult problem. DFA-based solutions can achieve high throughput, but require too much memory to be executed in high speed SRAM. NFA-based solutions require small memory, but(More)
—Network security applications use more regular expressions to represent patterns to perform deep packet inspection. Standard DFA engine is usually used to implement regular expressions matching, because it only need O(1) time to process one input symbol. However, DFAs of regular expression sets require large amount of memory, which limits the practical(More)
Traffic classification through DPI technology is considered spending most CPU time in pattern matching, leading to the conclusion that it is not suitable for classifying traffic online on high speed networks. In this paper we focus on how to improve matching performance. We believe that performance can be improved by exploiting some characteristics of(More)
—Traffic classification is important to many network applications, such as network monitoring. The classic way to identify flows, e.g., examining the port numbers in the packet headers, becomes ineffective. In this context, deep packet inspection technology, which does not only inspect the packet headers but also the packet payloads, plays a more important(More)
