Abstract
Security, reliability, and performance are paramount in current and future networks, especially networks of globally distributed datacenters. Example router functionality includes deep packet inspectors (DPI), wide-area performance enhancement proxies (PEP), transparent reliable TCP enhancements, protocol accelerators, overlay routers, security appliances, intrusion detection systems (IDS), and network monitors, to name a few. In this talk I will discuss how such routers (or middleboxes) may be built from the same commodity components readily available within the datacenter; namely, commodity multicore processors. Further, I will discuss a programmable interface and implementation that allow developers to take advantage of the increasing number of processor cores, a fundamental requirement given that single CPU core speeds no longer scale with increasing network speeds.
