Excerpt Description
Classification -- the problem of identifying the salient characteristics of a packet -- is pervasive in network applications. Efficient classification requires efficient access to packet headers and other data structures in memory. These pages illustrate, with examples, how classification can be accomplished efficiently on IXP2XXX network processors. They also describe how to use the byte alignment, hash, and CRC hardware of the IXP2XXX network processors.
