Software-defined Networking (SDN) marked the beginning of a new era in the field of
networking by decoupling the control and forwarding processes through the OpenFlow …

Programmable data planes allow users to define their own data plane algorithms for network
devices including appropriate data plane application programming interfaces (APIs) which …

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are spatial architectures with a heterogeneous
reconfigurable fabric. They are state-of-the-art for prototy**, telecommunications …

State machine replication (SMR) is a core mechanism for building highly available and
consistent systems. In this paper, we propose Waverunner, a new approach to accelerate …

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) has received considerable attention in the past few
years, both from industry and academia, due to its potential for reducing capital and …

To meet the evolving demands of programmable networks and address the limitations of
traditional fixed-type protocol parsers, we propose a dynamic and configurable low-latency …

Networking devices such as switches and routers have traditionally had fixed functionality.
They have the logic for the union of network protocols matching the application and market …

As the throughput of computer networks and other peripheral interfaces is rising, developers
are forced to use ever-wider data buses in FPGA designs. However, utilization of wide buses …

Programmable packet parsers in the space data plane, responsible for identifying protocols
and extracting keywords on demand, are significant to realize protocol upgrading for satellite …

Parsing is a critical packet processing function in the network node, and the performance
and configurability of the packet parsing is essential for designing a low-latency and highly …
