Abstract
A method and apparatus is described to process packets in a network. The method may comprise receiving the packet and determining a length K of the packet. If the length of the packet is less than a reference length M then no analysis may be performed on the packet. However, if the packet length K is not less than M, the method may determine if the packet length K is at least greater than a reference window size W. When the packet length is greater than Wthen a window size W for the processing of the packets is set equal to W; and the packet length is less than Wthen a window size W for the processing of the packets is set equal to the packet size K. Thereafter, the packet is processed using the window size W.
