Abstract
En 中文
Modern network devices need to perform deep packet inspection at high speed for security and application-specific services. Finite Automata (FAs) are used to implement regular expressions matching, but they require a large amount of memory. Many recent works have proposed improvements to address this issue.
This paper presents a new representation for deterministic finite automata (orthogonal to previous solutions), called Delta Finite Automata (δFA), which considerably reduces states and transitions and requires a transition per character only, thus allowing fast matching. Moreover, a new state encoding scheme is proposed and the comprehensive algorithm is tested for use in the packet classification area.
