Abstract
The session management overhead on the network systems like firewalls or intrusion detection systems is getting grown as the session table is glowing. In this paper. we propose the event-based timeout management policy to increase packet processing throughput on network systems by decreasing the system's timeout management overhead that is comparable to the existing time-based timeout management policies. Through some empirical studies using a session management system implemented in this paper we probed that the proposed policy provides better packet processing throughput than the existing policies.
