Evolution of Software Routers into the Cloud
For most of the 20th century networking platforms have remained mostly dedicated hardware with proprietary software stacks. As the number of networking applications such as QoS controllers, VPN gateways, WAN optimizers, and firewalls, has increased, demand for flexible network configuration has never been stronger. Furthermore, the exponential growth of the datacenter networking market has pushed technological breakthroughs in high-performance networking.
In this talk we cover past history of software routers based on commodity hardware with a focus on projects in our Advanced Networking Lab, namely PacketShader and NBA. From PacketShader to NBA, we have put batching as the first principle in high-performance networking platform design and exploited not just for IO but also for computing. We have expanded our research on high-speed networking platforms to elastic scaling of NFVs in datacenters. Also we are looking at RDMA as an alternative high-speed interconnect for disaggregated datacenters. We conclude with remaining technical challenges and emerging relevant trends.
