Software Methodology for Estimating the Efficiency of the Hardware Composition of Deep Packet Inspection System Using the Modernized Hooke ‒ Jeeves Method

Abstract

Deep packet inspection systems on communication networks are used to identify the application generating a specific traffic flow. The issues related to modeling and design of deep packet inspection systems remain poorly understood. In this paper, a software technique for evaluating the effectiveness of the hardware composition of the servers of the deep packet inspection system is presented, using a mathematical model of such a system and software search methods. The description of the program search by the maximum element method and the Hook - Jeeves method is given. A modernization of the Hook-Jeeves method for a monotonically decreasing function is proposed. Comparison of the methods by the number of search steps is performed.
