Abstract
In this paper, we study the Optimal Inspection Points (OIP) problem, which asks us to find a subset of vertices in a given network to perform the Deep Packet Inspection so as to maximize the number of scanned packets while satisfying the delay constraints. This problem finds many applications for malicious attack detection, especially those where packet scanning is a must. Accordingly, we prove OIP is NP-complete and provide an FPTAS in the case of single path routing. For the multiple path routings, we design an FPTAS when the routing graph takes a form of series-parallel graphs, which is commonly used to model electric networks.
