  • Method and apparatus for processing frames using static and dynamic classifiers
    Patent number: 6675223
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing network frames using static and dynamic classifiers provides a flexible and modifiable frame classification system. Static and Dynamic classifiers are used in combination within a network processing system to provide the range capability and hardware assist capability of the static classifier, along with the incremental modifications possible with a dynamic classifier. The dynamic classifier is searched first for rules directing processing of a received frame. The static classifier is searched only if a dynamic classifier key for the frame is not found, or the dynamic key actions indicated that the static classifier should also be searched.
