Abstract
Systems and methods for determining whether to perform deep packet inspection (DPI) on packets received at a network device based on shallow packet inspection data are disclosed. Embodiments may include DPI classification data in a combined lookup table that is utilized for shallow packet data based packet classification at a network device. Using the results of lookups in such a combined look table based on received packets, determinations can be made whether to perform DPI on such received packets, and those packets forwarded accordingly.
