Embodiment Construction

[0029] The specific implementation process of the present invention will be described below in conjunction with each accompanying drawing.

[0030] see figure 1 , which is a flow chart of the method for accelerating firewall filter rule matching according to the present invention, which mainly includes steps:

[0031] Step 10, constructing the attribute information of the attribute items of the pre-selected firewall filtering rule set into a linearly distributed attribute interval;

[0032] The attribute item is a source address or a destination address or a source port number or a destination port number or a transmission protocol.

[0033] The linearly distributed attribute intervals corresponding to the attribute items are arranged linearly according to the size order of the attribute information of the attribute items, and there is no intersection between any two linearly distributed attribute intervals corresponding to an attribute item.

[0034] Step 11, associating th...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a device for speeding up the matching of filter rules of firewalls, wherein the method comprises the steps: constructing attribute information of attribute items of a pre-selected firewall filter rule set to a linearly-distributed attribute interval, and associating the constructed attribute interval with the filter rules, containing the attribute interval, in attribute information of relative attribute items; querying the attribute information of the selected attribute items in data packets during the filtration of the data packets, searching the constructed attribute interval for the interval to which the queried attribute information belongs, and constructing rule sets corresponding one by one to the selected attribute items by using the searched interval-associated filter rules; acquiring the intersection of the constructed rule sets which are corresponding one by one to the selected attribute items and adding the intersection to a set of matched rules; and according to the priorities of the filter rules in the set of matched rules, sequentially performing rule matching on the data packets until the completely-matched rules are found out. The method and the device can enhance the efficiency of matching the filter rules of firewalls.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of network security, in particular to a method and device for accelerating the matching of firewall filtering rules. Background technique [0002] The packet filtering system is the most basic, important, and core part of a firewall. The firewall filtering rule set refers to the set of rules configured by the administrator to limit whether data packets in the network can pass through when the firewall performs access control. The common data packet filtering process generally adopts the strategy of sequentially matching data packets from the first rule of the firewall filter rule set. If a rule is successfully matched, the corresponding action of the rule is executed, and then the next data packet is matched. A firewall filtering rule set may contain dozens or more rules, but because there is a relationship between the rules, the rules must be arranged in a certain order, which is why the firewall filtering...
