High rate packets transmission on ethernet LAN using commodity hardware

DPI on Commodity Hardware using FastFlow

The analysis of packet payload is mandatory for network security and traffic monitoring applications. The computational cost of this activity pushed the industry towards hardware-assisted deep packet inspection (DPI) that have the disadvantage of being more expensive and less flexible. This paper covers the design and implementation of a new DPI framework using FastFlow, a skeleton-based parall...

Packet Capture in 10-Gigabit Ethernet Environments Using Contemporary Commodity Hardware

Tracing traffic using commodity hardware in contemporary highspeed access or aggregation networks such as 10-Gigabit Ethernet is an increasingly common yet challenging task. In this paper we investigate if today’s commodity hardware and software is in principle able to capture traffic from a fully loaded Ethernet. We find that this is only possible for data rates up to 1 Gigabit/s without rever...
