Abstract

Internet packet traffic has expanded rapidly as a result of the rising number of world wide web users and the amount of information sent by software applications which has highlighted the necessity of speeding up the processing required in network systems. Packet categorization is among the strategies utilized across network architecture. Skip List and Splay Tree, two of the most important data structures used in decision trees, will be investigated for their effectiveness in packet categorization in this study. The period of packet identification, the amount of memory accesses, and memory consumption per event make up our performance criterion. These criteria are used to judge whether data structure, between Skip List and Play Tree, is the preferable one to use for accurate packet classification.
