NetFPGA SUME : Toward Research Commodity 100 Gb / s
نویسندگان
چکیده
The demand-led growth of datacenter networks has meant that many constituent technologies are beyond the budget of the research community. In order to make and validate timely and relevant research contributions, the wider research community requires accessible evaluation, experimentation and demonstration environments with specification comparable to the subsystems of the most massive datacenter networks. We present NetFPGA SUME, an FPGA-based PCIe board with I/O capabilities for 100Gb/s operation as NIC, multiport switch, firewall, or test/measurement environment. As a powerful new NetFPGA platform, SUME provides an accessible development environment that both reuses existing codebases and enables new designs.

متن کاملPERFORMANCE COMPARISON BETWEEN THE CLICK MODULAR Router and the NetFPGA Router
1 It is possible to forward minimum-sized packets at rates of hundreds of Mbps using commodity hardware and Linux. We had a preference for the Click Modular Router platform due its flexibility and the fact that it claimed to have equal or higher performance than native forwarding if used with its polling drivers. Moreover, the NetFPGA is an open networking platform accelerator that enables rese...
متن کاملA 10G NetFPGA Prototype for In-Network Aggregation
An emerging class of distributed applications such as graph processing and key-value store require fine grained non-uniform memory access and communication, which commodity networking infrastructure is ill-equipped to handle. By batching messages on the end host we can increase bandwidth utilization at the cost of latency and memory. However, by batching messages in the network instead of exclu...
متن کاملAccurate and affordable packet-train testing systems for multi-Gb/s networks
Communication networks face nowadays a relentless increase in traffic load. Multi-Gb/s links are becoming widespread, and network devices are under a continuous stress, so testing whether they guarantee the specified throughput or delay is a must. Software-based solutions, such as the packet-train traffic injection, were adequate for lower speeds, but they have turned inaccurate in the current ...
متن کاملPrototyping RISC Based, Reconfigurable Networking Applications in Open Source
In the last decade we have witnessed a rapid growth in data center systems, requiring new and highly complex networking devices. The need to refresh networking infrastructure whenever new protocols or functions are introduced, and the increasing costs that this entails, are of a concern to all data center providers. New generations of Systems on Chip (SoC), integrating microprocessors and highe...
