Abstract
Each application executing on an application server uses an extended version of the Berkeley Packet Filter (BPF) language to define an application-specific rule set. The application server also includes a Just-In-Time compiler to compile the BPF rule set. The compiled rule set is downloaded to a Packet Forwarding Entity (PFE) in the network, and used to control how the PFE steers data packets generated by the application through a communications network.
