Abstract:The concepts of cloud computing and Internet applications have expanded gradually and have become more and more important. Researchers need a new, highspeed network to build experimental environments for testing new network protocols without affecting existing traffic. In this paper, we describe a way to integrate NetFPGA platform, OpenFlow concept and NetFPGA reference designs into a network testbed to improve the packet processing speed and the dynamic adjustability for network emulation experiments. Furthermore, combined with Tunneling and VPLS, the proposed network testbed can be connected to distributed network, thus providing researchers a traffic-controllable and NIC-programmable experimental networking testbed in intra-communicating part.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
