Delivering quality-of-service (QoS) in packet-switched networks requires sorting the packets into traffic classes and ensuring that each class of traffic receives an appropriate share of ...

As broadcasters increasingly move toward IP-based systems within their facilities and for wide area network connections, the ability to prioritize some packets over others is becoming more desirable.

The field of packet classification is pivotal to modern network operations, underpinning the ability to manage data traffic efficiently and securely. This discipline involves algorithms and ...

Application-specific ICs, like these from IDT, take the processing burden from a central network processor. However, compute-intensive packet searches that serve such purposes as routing, security, ...
