Improving Distributed Firewalls Performance through Vertical Load Balancing
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we present an extension to an existing hash based packet classification technique in order to improve its performance in a distributed network access control environment. We show that such architecture can be modified so that flow states can be kept in a distributed fashion thus reducing the space needed for packet filtering in each component of the architecture. We also show how such approach can, in some cases, improve the overall time complexity of packet filtering operations by reducing the number of packet classification operations.

Fulp . Effects of Processing Delay on Function - Parallel Firewalls
Comprehensive security policies are an integral part of creating a secure network and commonly firewalls are used to accomplish this. Firewalls inspect and filter traffic arriving or departing a network by comparing packets to a set of rules and performing the matching rule action, which is accept or deny. Unfortunately, traffic inspection of this type can impose significant delays on traffic d...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Load Balancing Algorithms
Load balancing is the process of improving the performance of a parallel and distributed system through a redistribution of load among the processors [1] [5]. In this paper we present the performance analysis of various load balancing algorithms based on different parameters, considering two typical load balancing approaches static and dynamic. The analysis indicates that static and dynamic bot...
