“…An example for the use of flexible router hardware is the Dynamically Extensible Router (DER) [13]. Contrary to AMnet, where specialized hardware may optionally supplement the central processing unit of a software router, DER inserts processing elements between the line cards and the switching fabric.…”

AMnet 2.0 is an improved architecture for programmable networks that is based on the experiences from the previous implementation of AMnet. This paper gives an overview of the AMnet architecture and Linux-based implementation of this software router. It also discusses the differences to the previous version of AMnet. AMnet 2.0 complements application services with net-centric services in an integrated system that provides the fundamental building blocks both for an active node itself and the operation of a larger set of nodes, including code deployment decisions, service relocation, resource management.

Custom packet processing functionality in routers is one of the key characteristics of next-generation Internet architectures. Network services have been proposed as an abstraction to describe, compose, and deploy end-to-end connections with custom communication features. We present a novel hardware architecture for high-performance processing of such network services in the data path. The design provides simple processing units to implement services and a custom hardware infrastructure to manage packets and processing context. The design allows for simple software development, flexible network service allocation, and high scalability to handle traffic at Gigabit line rates.

Abstract. GRID computing in the Internet faces two fundamental challenges. First the development of an appropriate middleware for provision of computing services in a scalable and secure manner. Second the distributed, scalable and fast connection of GRID processing components to the network. The latter is important to enable fast data exchange among the distributed components of virtualized super-computers. In this work, we focus on the connection aspects of GRID architectures and advocate to enhance edge-routers with clusters of high performance computing machines. We propose enhancing available GRID resources to a componentbased programmable node. Our approach delivers three advantages: Use of the same hardware/software for GRID computing and Programmable Networks. Support of GRID computing through-then available-programmable services, like data transport and distribution in the GRID through Programmable Networks. Finally we see GRID computing as a leverage for the future deployment of Programmable Networks technology.
