ABSTRACT:
A packet classifier having a forest of hash tables data structure. The forest of hash tables data structure includes a number of hash tables, each hash table having a bit mask corresponding to an equivalent set of rules. Each hash table includes a number of entries, wherein an entry of a hash table may correspond to a rule. One or more of the hash tables may include a marker in one entry, wherein the marker identifies another one of the hash tables. The hash table identified by the marker is a descendant of the hash table in which the marker is placed.
