Hybrid Tree-rule Firewall for High Speed Data Transmission (2016)
Journal Article
Chomsiri, T., He, X., Nanda, P., & Tan, Z. (2016). Hybrid Tree-rule Firewall for High Speed Data Transmission. IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing, 1-1. https://doi.org/10.1109/tcc.2016.2554548

Traditional firewalls employ listed rules in both configuration and process phases to regulate network traffic. However, configuring a firewall with listed rules may create rule conflicts, and slows down the firewall. To overcome this problem, we hav...
