Packet classification in the NIC for improved SMP-based Internet servers
نویسندگان
چکیده
This document describes a new networking subsystem architecture built around a packet classifier executing in the Network Interface Card (NIC). By classifying packets in the NIC, we believe that performance, scalability, and robustness can be significantly improved on shared-memory multiprocessor Internet servers. In order to demonstrate the feasibility and the benefits of the approach, we developed a software prototype (consisting in extensions to the Linux kernel and modifications to the Myrinet NIC firmware and driver) and ran a series of experiments. The obtained results, presented therein, show the relevance of the approach.

In this article we propose a new tool, named Raw Packet Sender (RPS), for testing the performance of WWW servers. Our solution allows for testing with arbitrary number of source IP addresses although the traffic originates from only one physical NIC. In order to better mimic the real life environment we implemented an HTTP session interarrival time generator based on Markov Modulated Poisson Pr...

متن کاملTCP Servers: Offloading TCP Processing in Internet
TCP Server is a system architecture aiming to offload network processing from the host(s) running an Internet server. The basic idea is to execute the TCP/IP processing on a dedicated processor, node, or device (the TCP server) using low-overhead, non-intrusive communication between it and the host(s) running the server application. In this paper, we propose, implement, and evaluate three TCP S...
