IDENTIFICATION AND ADMINISTRATION SYSTEM APPLIED TO PEER-TO-PEER GATEWAY AND METHOD FOR THE SAME

Abstract

An identification and administration system applied to P2P gateway and a method for the same are proposed. The system is installed in a kernel space, and a plug-in kernel module is in the kernel space to finish preprocessing and application processing of packets on the kernel space without the need of copying data to the user space for processing. Moreover, a connection cache is provided in the kernel space to process source/destination IP addresses, connection ports and protocol identifiers of all packets to recognize and then block identical request packets in reconnections. Therefore, the throughput of content-level security gateway can be increased, and the processing efficiency of packets can also be enhanced.
