Machine learning is widely used to solve networking challenges, ranging from traffic
classification and anomaly detection to network configuration. However, machine learning …

Traditionally, the data plane has been designed with fixed functions to forward packets using
a small set of protocols. This closed-design paradigm has limited the capability of the …

The cloud gateway is essential in the public cloud as the central hub of cloud traffic. We
show that horizontal scaling of software gateways, once sustainable for years, is no longer …

Abstract Software Defined Networking (SDN), which decouples control plane and data
plane, normally stores states on controllers to provide flexible programmability and …

Round-trip time (RTT) is a central metric that influences end-user QoE and can expose traffic-
interception attacks. Many popular RTT monitoring techniques either send active probes …

This paper describes Trio, a programmable chipset used in Juniper Networks' MX-series
routers and switches. Trio's architecture is based on a multi-threaded programmable packet …

High-speed ASIC switches hold great promise for offloading complex packet processing
pipelines directly in the highspeed data-plane. Yet, a large variety of today's packet …

For security, isolation, metering and other purposes, public clouds today implement complex
network functions at every server. Today's implementations, in software or on FPGAs and …

The advent of switches with programmable dataplanes has enabled the rapid development
of new network functionality, as well as providing a platform for acceleration of a broad …

Responding to the" datacenter tax" and" killer microseconds" problems for memory-intensive
datacenter applications, diverse solutions including Smart NIC-based ones have been …
