1. A device for filtering data, wherein the data is formatted in a packet having discrete segments, the device comprising:
- a mapping module that contains control logic for performing steps comprising;
(a) receiving the identification of at least two clusters of the discrete segments of data; and
(b) selecting at least two of a plurality of fixed length filters to filter the at least two clusters.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for filtering digital data formatted in packets. A filter module contains a plurality of filters and is coupled to a filter mapping module. The filter mapping module receives the identification of clusters of discrete segments of a packet and selects a group of fixed length filters to filter the clusters.

18. A computer-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions for causing a mapping module to generate a map for use by a filter module to filter clusters of data found in a packet of data, the computer-executable instructions cause the mapping module to perform the steps comprising:
-
(a) receiving the identification of at least two clusters of the discrete segments of data; and
(b) selecting at least two of a plurality of fixed length filters to filter the at least two clusters. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22)
