Abstract
The present invention provides for enhanced packet classification. With the present invention packets are classified using both positive and negative classifiers. That is, a packet is classified based on both (a) whether or not the packet does meet certain criteria and, b) whether or not the packet does not meet certain other criteria. Thus packets can be classified into data flows based upon both positive and negative criteria.
