            This research team has made significant 
            contributions in the analysis and comparisons of existing 
            algorithms, and in developing new IP address lookup and packet 
            classification algorithms to address the issues and solve the 
            problems raised or identified in the project proposals. So far, five 
            technical reports have been produced, two mater’s projects have been 
            completed, two research papers have been published in proceedings of 
            IEEE conferences, two have been submitted to international 
            conferences, one research paper has been submitted to IEEE/ACM 
            Transactions on Networking for possible publication, one master’s 
            thesis has been successfully defended and one Ph.D. thesis has been 
            completed. Major contributions made so far include: a. A new packet 
            classification algorithm: Packet classification using independent 
            sets; b. Two new IP address lookup algorithms: Fast IP address 
            lookup using index table and IP address lookup based on comb 
            extraction scheme; c. Extract and Analysis of IP address features 
            for IP address lookup.
