Abstract
Various embodiments provide a method and apparatus for processing incoming packets in an efficient manner. A service ID bitmap indicating available services associated with the user is established. The available services are grouped into service set. Common service set having common set of rules is determined. A user associated with common service set and incoming traffic is identified. The incoming traffic is processed according to the common set of rules indicated by the service ID bitmap. The efficient use of Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) results in faster search result, lower power consumption and chip footprint among others.
