HyperCuts

Packet Classification Using Multidimensional Cutting


Year Project on Faculty of Mathematics and Physics on Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic

The goal of this project is to implement the packet filtering method known as HyperCuts as a module into the Linux Kernel, document the implementation and carry-out method's performance evaluation under generated networking traffic. The work will be modeled after the PTree filtering module implementation, where advantageous.

Mentor for this project are Lukas Kencl, from Intel Research Cambridge (link is not function) and Ludek Kucera, from Department of Applied Mathematics.
