NetVM brings virtualization to the Network by enabling high bandwidth network functions to
operate at near line speed, while taking advantage of the flexibility and customization of low …

We present PacketShader, a high-performance software router framework for general packet
processing with Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) acceleration. PacketShader exploits the …

We revisit the problem of scaling software routers, motivated by recent advances in server
technology that enable high-speed parallel processing--a feature router workloads appear …

Software packet forwarding has been used for a long time in general purpose operating
systems. While interesting for prototy** or on slow links, it is not considered a viable …

Future Internet devices and network infrastructures need to be significantly more energy-
efficient, scalable, and flexible in order to realize the extremely virtualized and optimized …

For long time, high-speed packet processing has been reserved for specialized hardware
devices since software based solutions were not able to achieve the required performance …

Modern commodity operating systems do not provide developers with user-space
abstractions for building high-speed packet processing applications. The conventional raw …

Besides a more widespread sensitivity to ecological issues, the interest in energy-efficient
network technologies springs from heavy and critical economical needs, since both energy …

High-speed network cards supporting 10 or 40GbE (Gigabit Ethernet) are available today.
Software frameworks for high-speed packet reception and transmission were created to …

We consider a new generation of COTS software routers (SRs), able to effectively exploit
multi-Core/CPU HW platforms. Our main objective is to evaluate and to model the impact of …
