Abstract
This paper introduces U-Filter, a URL filtering solution based on a distributed architecture where a lightweight, efficient URL extraction and policy enforcement component runs on residential gateways, delegating to a remote policy server the resource intensive task of verifying policy compliance. Thanks to the lightweight communication between the two components and the very limited resource requirements of the local module, U-Filter (i) can be deployed on resource-limited devices such as residential gateways, and (ii) has almost no impact on the performance of the device, as well as on the users' browsing experience, as demonstrated by the experiments presented in the paper.
