Description: This paper outlines the design of gPF, a fast packet classifier optimised for parallel execution on current generation commodity graphics hard-ware. Specifically, gPF leverages the potential for both the parallel classi-fication of packets at runtime, and the use of evolutionary mechanisms, in the form of a GP-GPU genetic algorithm to produce contextually opti-mised filter permutations in order to reduce redundancy and improve the per-packet throughput rate of the resultant filter program. This paper demonstrates that these optimisations have significant potential for im-proving packet classification speeds, particularly with regard to bulk pack-et processing and saturated network environments.
