Abstract
A network component has a set of one or more rules, each of which has a match component and an action component. If an incoming packet maps to the match component of a rule, then the packet is handled according to the rule's action component. If the rule also includes a limit component, then if the packet maps to the rule's match component, a family history of the rule is updated, and the packet is handled according to the rule's action component only if the rule's family history satisfies the rule's limit component.
