Broadband Network Gateway implementation using a programmable data plane processor

The broadband network gateway (BNG) play a crucial role in today’s networks, it hands all access network traffic (e.g DSL traffic), provisioning of such policies like rate limiter, tunneling and complex network management mechanisms that an Internet service providers (ISPs) needs to implement his services. These network devices are expensive, proprietary, limited and slow device upgrading, become a point of failure to deploy new features, add functionalities and correct issues on the network without disrupting the normal service operation. In this article, we propose a software-based virtualized BNG device running on inexpensive commodity hardware using high-level language for programming protocol-independent packet processors over a Multi-Architecture Compiler System in order to remove some of these barriers to innovation.
