18 #define CLASSIFIER_H 1
22 * This flow classifier assumes that we can arrange the fields in a flow in an
23 * order such that the set of wildcarded fields in a rule tend to fall toward
24 * the end of the ordering. That is, if field F is wildcarded, then all the
25 * fields after F tend to be wildcarded as well. If this assumption is
26 * violated, then the classifier will still classify flows correctly, but its
27 * performance will suffer.
29 * The classifier uses a collection of CLS_N_FIELDS hash tables for wildcarded
30 * flows. Each of these tables contains the flows that wildcard a given field
31 * and do not wildcard any of the fields that precede F in the ordering. The
32 * key for each hash table is the value of the fields preceding F that are not
33 * wildcarded. All the flows that fall within a table and have the same key
34 * are kept as a linked list ordered from highest to lowest priority.
36 * The classifier also maintains a separate hash table of exact-match flows.
38 * To search the classifier we first search the table of exact-match flows,
39 * since exact-match flows always have highest priority. If there is a match,
40 * we're done. Otherwise, we search each of the CLS_N_FIELDS hash tables in
41 * turn, looking for the highest-priority match, and return it (if any).
