Abstract

In this paper, we propose an architectural design to improve lookup performance of OpenFlow switching in Linux using a standard commodity network interface card based on the Intel 82599 Gigabit Ethernet controller. We describe our design and report our preliminary results that show packet switching throughput increasing up to 25 percent compared to the throughput of regular software-based OpenFlow switching.

Accelerating OpenFlow switching with network processors
ANCS '09: Proceedings of the 5th ACM/IEEE Symposium on Architectures for Networking and Communications Systems

OpenFlow switching enables flexible management of enterprise network switches and experiments on regular network traffic. We present in this paper a complementary design to OpenFlow's existing reference designs. We apply network processor based ...
OpenFlow data planes performance evaluation
Abstract
Software-Defined Networks, in its essence, are the separation of the data and control planes of switching devices. The OpenFlow (OF) protocol is the most popular SDN protocol today, being available in many switches. This is due to the ...
Efficient mismatched packet buffer management with packet order-preserving for OpenFlow networks

OpenFlow-based networks simplify network management and improve network programmability by centralized network control. Existing OpenFlow networks employ packet-granularity mismatched packet buffer management to reduce the switch-controller ...
