Abstract
A method for packet classification. In some embodiments, the method includes instantiating a first machine; allocating a first SC to the first machine, the first SC being configured to classify a packet based on information contained in a field of a header included in the packet; instantiating a second machine; allocating a second SC to the second machine, the second SC being configured to classify a packet based on information contained in a field of a header included in the packet; monitoring the first machine to detect if the first machine is in an overload state; and in response to detecting that the first machine is in an overload state, instantiating a third machine and allocating a third SC to the third machine, the third SC being configured to classify a packet based on information contained in a field of a header included in the packet.
