Optimization on Bandwidth Management-L7 filtering?

["lee weejin" <leeweejin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Recently i just set up a machine for bandwidth management based on layer 7 filtering, i have followed the instruction from http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/L7-HOWTO-Netfilter .

Since all the incoming packets was checked one by one-(it is time consuming and will cause the processing delay if it is handling more than 50 PC at a time), thus i am thinking that is there any way to have a random checking on incoming packets ? Scipt or tools? so that it wont check all the incoming packets one follow by another one.

If let say> The incoming packets usage for http is 10 packets that need to be sent in, thus i only check the 1st packet, and then skip the remaining 9 packets checking in order to provide faster processing time to the machine.

Is it my idea workable? Does it work in Linux box with Layer7 filtering ?

(P/s: my question might be a little bit silly, cause i am still new in this environment)

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

JIN
