Abstract :
Using IXP2XXX network processor (NP), a fast processing of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is embedded in the NP based firewall. By interpolating the module before processing the information of network interface layer and setting a special jump identifier for the exceptional process microblock on NP, simulation results show that the optimized method in this paper can simplify the process flow and improve the ICMP processing efficiency.
