文摘Packet classification (PC) has become the main method to support the quality of service and security of network application. And two-dimeusioual prefix packet classification (PPC) is the popular one. This paper analyzes the problem of ruler conflict, and then presents a TCAM-based two-dimensional PPC algorithm. This algorithm makes use of the parallelism of TCAM to lookup the longest prefix in one instruction cycle. Then it uses a memory image and associated data structures to eliminate the conflicts between rulers, and performs a fast two-dimeusional PPC.
