"server-based architecture cannot work at cloud... hypervisor virtual machines deploying programs/ applications operating at once on single server maximize efficiency... caches shared rule segments instead of new data packets, processing steps multiple flows have in common instead of processing full flows, frequently used rules easy to reach... 18% fewer cache entries capture 450X larger rule space... cache divided into smaller rule-processing steps, allowing combinations of smaller steps in many different ways"
