A Review on Effective Architecture of Packet Classification

The process of making category of packets is called packet classification. All packets of the same category obey a pre-defined rule and are processed in a similar manner by the router. Packet classification is needed for various application. Due to increase of demand in throughput, increase in internet traffic, multi field packet classification becomes very difficult. In this paper we describe different types of algorithm and identification of parameters of algorithm suitable for different application. This paper includes the overview of the new challenges, existing solutions and future scope of packet classification.
