Abstract

Access control list (ACL) is one of the most important things in computer network security. While cheap router or PC processes ACL by software, network equipment such as Layer 2 or 3 switch processes ACL by hardware because there is a speed limit in software process ability. The hardware process of ACL can handle high speed network packet, however, this capability limits ACL configuration such as the limit of the number of rules in ACL. This paper proposes the software that decreases the number of rules in ACL to satisfy the limit of hardware. This paper also evaluates this software by experiment in which this software is applied to practical ACL.
