This paper presents an innovative approach to packet classification, leveraging decision trees and HyperCuts to achieve ultra-high throughput with low power consumption. We introduce a novel method to optimize the number of cuts in packet classification trees by focusing on dimensions with high variability. Through techniques such as node merging, rule overlap reduction, and region compaction, we enhance the efficiency of rule storage and processing. The methodology ensures a balanced tree structure while maintaining classification speed and accuracy, making it suitable for modern networking demands.

Overview • Decision Tree based Packet Classification • Based on HyperCuts
HyperCuts Review • Dimension to Cut • The fields with more distinct number of range than mean • Number of Cut • Max cuts to node i ≤ spfac * sqrt (number of rules at i) • Actually Cutting • Combination with least maximum number of rule stored in a child • Heuristics • Node Merging • Rule Overlap • Pushing Common Rule Upward • Region Compaction
Modification • Dimension to Cut • All fields are considered • Number of Cut • Larger the number of cut in root-node (seg. Table) • Optimization • Pushing Common Rule Upward (Too Complicate) • Modified Region Compaction (Next Page) • Rule Storage
Region Compaction: Modification • Necessary Information: • Number of Cut in each field • Number of Bit in each field
