High Performance Packet Processing with FlexNIC

Fast Packet Processing on High Performance Architectures

The rapid growth of Internet and the fast emergence of new network applications have brought great challenges and complex issues in deploying high-speed and QoS guaranteed IP network. For this reason packet classification and network intrusion detection have assumed a key role in modern communication networks in order to provide Qos and security. In this thesis we describe a number of the most ...

High-Performance Packet Classification on Multi-Core Network Processing Platforms

Packet classification is crucial to the implementation of advanced network services that require the capability to distinguish traffic in different flows, such as access control in firewalls and protocol analysis in intrusion detection systems. This paper proposes a novel packet classification algorithm optimized for multi-core network processors. The proposed algorithm, AggreCuts, has an expli...

High Performance Packet Classification

In this proposal, we seek to develop methods for packet classification that can deliver high performance (e.g. wire speed processing at 10 Gb/s) while being reasonably cost-effective (e.g. memory-efficient and having low hardware complexity). In particular, we discuss a new approach involving extended TCAMs. This new approach eliminates the problems that preclude TCAMs from being considered via...
