Programmable Dataplane Architecture for Distributed Services at the Network Edge

Mario Baldi Diego Crupnicoff Silvano Gai

This paper describes the architecture, sample applications, and performance of a Distributed Services Card that can support a large range of services in cloud, service provider, and enterprise data centers, as well as service provider and enterprise network edge. Being deployed in hosts, this fully programmable card can leverage the same scale-out model that has become popular for computing. Given that devices at the network edge deal only with packets that are sent to and from a single host, more time can be spent processing each packet to offer rich services programmed in P4.

An encapsulation for TRILL

Silvano Gai

A new layer of encapsulation is required with RBridges. A previous Internet Draft [2] (draft-bryant-perlman-trill-pwe-encap-00) proposes an encapsulation header that contains a Nickname, a flag, TTL and CoS. This document introduces additional fields, and gives arguments for their usefulness. As a result the encapsulation header needs to be expanded and will no longer be able to be in MPLS format. The WG will need to decide on the tradeoffs between this additional functionality, and compatibility with an existing (MPLS) format.
