Abstract
A method and apparatus to enable efficient processing and transmission of network communications are described. A network transmission directed to one or more destination nodes within a network is received. One or more network transmission items are identified in the network transmission. One or more item signatures associated with the one or more network transmission items are generated. Finally, a determination is made whether the one or more network transmission items can be transmitted to the one or more destination nodes by further processing the one or more item signatures.
