Abstract:We propose a high-speed packet forwarding architecture on general-purpose servers, in which a Network Interface Card (NIC) drives packet forwarding by direct packet transfer to other NICs via a PCIe switch. The demand for high-speed packet forwarding technology on general-purpose servers is increasing with the spread of networking concepts such as Network Function Virtualization (NFV). However, the current architecture, which processes packets by CPU, cannot achieve the similar degree of performance that hardw… Show more
