Journal ArticleDOI
High-Speed Software Data Plane via Vectorized Packet Processing
David Richard Barach,Leonardo Linguaglossa,Damjan Marion,Pierre Pfister,Salvatore Pontarelli,Dario Rossi +5 more
TL;DR: This article introduces the main VPP concepts and architecture, and experimentally evaluates the impact of design choices (such as batch packet processing) on performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
6LB: Scalable and Application-Aware Load Balancing with Segment Routing
TL;DR: This paper introduces and compares kernel bypass high-performance implementations of both 6LB and the state-of-the-art load-balancer, showing that the significant system-level benefits of 6LB are achievable with a negligible data-path CPU overhead.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Stateless Load-Aware Load Balancing in P4
TL;DR: The stateless design of SHELL makes it suitable for hardware implementation, and the implementation of a P4-NetFPGA prototype demonstrates throughput and latency characteristics comparable to other stateless load-balancing implementations, while enabling application instance-load-aware dispatching and significantly increasing per-connection consistency resiliency.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-speed data plane and network functions virtualization by vectorizing packet processing
Leonardo Linguaglossa,Dario Rossi,Salvatore Pontarelli,David Richard Barach,Damjan Marjon,Pierre Pfister +5 more
TL;DR: This paper introduces the main VPP concepts and architecture, and experimentally evaluates the impact of its design choices (such as batch packet processing) on its performance.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
SRLB: The Power of Choices in Load Balancing with Segment Routing
TL;DR: This paper introduces a load-balancer running exclusively within the IP forwarding plane, i.e. in an application protocol agnostic fashion - yet which still provides application-awareness and makes real-time, decentralized decisions.
