Abstract
A network device may be configured to filter network traffic using multiple filters bound to different interfaces, such as different ports or other logical interfaces associated with the network device. Multiple filters may be merged to obtain a number of merged filter sets. A rank may be calculated for the merged filter sets and used to maintain a required ordering of the merged filter sets when performing a lookup.
