String matching has sparked renewed research interest due to its usefulness for deep packet inspection in applications such as intrusion detection, virus scanning, and Internet content filtering. Matching expressive pattern specifications with a scalable and efficient design, accelerating the entire packet flow, and string matching with high-level semantics are promising topics for further study.
