Many packet classification algorithms were proposed to deal with the rapidly
growing speed of computer networks. Unfortunately all of these algorithms are
able to achieve high throughput only at the cost of excessively large memory and
can be used only for small sets of rules. We propose new algorithm that uses four
techniques to lower the memory requirements: division of rule set into subsets,
removal of critical rules, prefix coloring and perfect hashing. The algorithm is
designed for pipelined hardware implementation, can achieve the throughput of 266
million packets per second, which corresponds to 178 Gb/s for the shortest 64B
packets, and outperforms older approaches in terms of memory requirements by 66 %
in average for the rule sets available to us.
