“…One concrete example of convergence between Reconfigurable Computing researchers and network researchers is the NetFPGA project [36] from the University of Cambridge. This project, based on FPGA technology, provides software, hardware and community as a basic infrastructure to simulation and testing high-speed networks.One key point of this project is to maintain the platform as an open-source project, allowing the reuse of building blocks across various research projects.…”

<div data-canvas-width="547.27795779347">The Future Internet is expected to support services in both existing and new scenarios, in terms of mobility, quality, scalability and security, among other. In this work we present how reconfigurable Computing (RC) may contribute to build Future Internet (FI) flexibility and security. Therefore, we discuss some aspects of FI initiatives that can be addressed by Reconfigurable Computing. Then we show some features of the Reconfigurable Computing enabling technology – FPGA – which can help to build a more flexible and secure Future Internet. The concluding remarks concern the need to bring together FI and RC researchers.</div>

This paper presents a framework for converting P4 programs to VHDL and then implementing them on Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) platforms. In this framework, a match-action-based hardware architecture is introduced with clearly designed components, which correspond to the described functionalities in the P4 programs. A pre-built template library is used for the compilation that includes optimized VHDL templates corresponding to specific clearly designed components. From the output of a standard frontend P4 compiler, the proposed compiler extracts parameters and relationships within the functions being employed, maps them to corresponding templates by calling, configuring, optimizing and instantiating them, and finally generates the appropriate FPGA code. A pre-built evaluation library is also proposed that helps the compiler to optimize the implementation during the mapping phase. A prototype of this framework is also implemented and evaluated; in this process, it is found that the generated processors use few resources and have high throughput and low latency. Compared with a state-of-the-art solution, the packet processing time is halved. In addition, the generated processors are able to operate at a line rate of nearly 100 Gigabits per second for a basic layer-3 forwarding application.
