An apparatus and method includes grouping filters to form a tree according to a bitmask. The bitmask includes entries indicating whether a value is assigned to an element of a filter. The method also includes receiving a packet that includes a particular bitmask, searching the tree to determine filters associated with the particular bitmask and the associated values, and returning a set of filters that are an intersection of the filters indicated by the associated values. |
