A dedicated data packet filtering processor whose only function is to filter data packets based on a list of source IP addresses stored in high-speed memory of the processor. The processor has a specialized operating system which controls the operation of the processor. The processor examines the source IP address of each received data packet ot determine if the source IP address matches one of the stored source IP addresses, and if there is a match, either discards or forwards the data packet depending on the processor configuration. The list of source IP addresses are updated by a service provider having a central administrative site. The service provider keeps these lists up to data and periodically updates the source IP addresses stored in the random access memory of the dedicated IP filtering processors.

La présente invention concerne un processeur spécialisé permettant de filtrer des paquets de données, dont la seule fonction est de filtrer des paquets de données à partir d'une liste d'adresses source IP stockées dans la mémoire grande vitesse du processeur. Ce processeur comprend un système d'exploitation spécialisé qui commande le fonctionnement du processeur. Le processeur examine l'adresse source IP de chaque paquet de données reçu de manière à déterminer si les adresses source IP correspondent à l'une des adresses source IP stockées. En cas de correspondance, le processeur élimine ou réexpédie le paquet de données en fonction de la configuration de processeur. La liste des adresses source IP est mise à jour par un fournisseur de service doté d'un site administratif central. Ce fournisseur de service conserve ces listes à jour et met périodiquement à jour les adresses source IP stockées dans la mémoire à accès aléatoire des processeurs de filtrage spécialisés.
