Resumen
Bloom filters are a type of data structure that is used to test whether or not an element is a member of a set. They are known for being space-efficient and are commonly employed in various applications, such as network routers, web browsers, and databases. These filters work by allowing a fixed probability of incorrectly identifying an element as being a member of the set, known as the false positive rate (FPR). However, traditional bloom filters suffer from a high FPR and extensive memory usage, which can lead to incorrect query results and a slow performance. Thus, this study indicates that a content-based strategy could be a practical solution for these challenges. Specifically, our approach requires less bloom filter storage, consequently decreasing the probability of false positives. The effectiveness of several hash functions on our strategy?s performance was also evaluated. Experimental evaluations demonstrated that the proposed strategy could potentially decrease false positives by a substantial margin of up to 79.83%. The use of size-based content bits significantly contributes to the decrease in the number of false positives as well. However, as the volume of content bits rises, the impact on time is not considerably noticeable. Moreover, the evidence suggests that the application of a singular approach leads to a more than 50% decrease in false positives.
