Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A filtering policy is denoted as a filtering rule list and is achieved by linear search of the rule list. The increase in the number of filtering rules causes a latency. Thus various methods for optimizing the rule order have been developed to minimize the latency. In the proposed methods, the weight of the filtering rule is assigned randomly or according to the Zipf distribution. The number of packets that match an $i$th filtering rule means that the number of packets that match an $i$th rule and not through the first rule to the $(i-1)$th rule in a rule list $bd{R}$. So the above methods of assignment are inappropriate. In this paper, we prove that the problem of computing the number of packets that match a filtering rule is $#mathcal{P}$-complete and propose a method for computing the number of packets via Multi-terminal Zero-suppressed Binary Decision Diagrams (MTZDDs). The method construct a MTZDD for the rule list $bd{R}$ and computes the number of packets that match an $i$th rule by the {it count} operation on the MTZDDs.
