Security is one of the key elements of real-time communication systems, especially with the developments in digital communication systems. One of the most crucial networking activities that guards against hacking and unintentional consequences on connected devices is packet classification. The router's and other linked devices' sluggish processing speeds are a problem for implementing real-time packet classification. This paper proposes a novel parallel architecture for packet classification in routers. The design that has been suggested uses the parallelism that modern hardware technologies offer to categorize several packets at once to increase throughput, lower energy usage, and drastically lower latency. The suggested design supports multiple data reads by utilizing Dual Port RAM, or DPRAM. They have low latency performance and allow for fast rate packet lookup, making them the preferable choice for stage memory. The DPRAM provides the data to the packet scheduling module. The packets are received concurrently by the two subsequent packet splitter units. The throughput of packet classification increases as a result. In this paper, a parallel packet categorization architecture using FPGA is explored for maximizing throughput and maintain allowable latency while preserving low energy consumption. The classifier has the lowest energy efficiency of 7.2nJ and less latency of 58 ns. Its throughput may reach 668 MPPS (million packets per second).
