Abstract
A method for processing communication traffic includes receiving a data packet sent over a network from a source address and reading a value of an attribute from the data packet. The value is hashed to determine a key, which is used as an index in extracting a tag from a table of random values. A decision is made using the tag regarding forwarding of the communication traffic from the source address.
