Title: | Protocol boosters: Applying programmability to network infrastructures | Authors: | Marcus W. Hadzic I. McAuley A. Smith J. |
Issue Date: | 1-Jan-1998 | Journal: | IEEE Communications Magazine | Abstract: | This article describes a novel methodology for protocol design, using incremental construction of the protocol from elements called protocol boosters on an as-needed basis. Protocol boosters are an adaptation technique that allows dynamic and efficient protocol customization to heterogeneous environments. By design, the boosting mechanism is under control of a policy, which determines when augmentation is required. Thus, many portions of a protocol stack execute only as necessary, permitting significant increases in performance relative to general-purpose protocols. Design principles for protocol boosters are presented, as well as an example booster. Two implementation platforms are described: (1) an augmented Linux operating system, which is freely available to other researchers; and (2) a rapidly reprogrammable hardware prototype, called the Programmable Protocol Processing Pipeline (P4), which is based on off-the-shelf FPGA technology. Since protocol boosters are programmed functions and can be network-resident, a programmable network infrastructure is necessary to exploit their full capability. Thus, protocol boosters are an ideal application for an on-the-fly programmable network infrastructure. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/14969 | ISSN: | 01636804 | DOI: | 10.1109/35.722140 |
