Classifying Packets with Hierarchical Intelligent Cuttings

Increasing demands on Internet router performance and functionality create a need for algorithms that classify packets quickly with minimal storage requirements and allow frequent updates. Unlike previous algorithms, the algorithm proposed here meets this need well by using heuristics that exploit structure present in classifiers.
