Abstract: Future Internet devices and network infrastructures need to be significantly more energy-efficient, scalable, and flexible in order to realize the extremely virtualized and optimized ICT/network infrastructures In this respect, this article presents a recent extension of an open source software framework, the Distributed Router Open Platform (DROP), to enable a novel distributed paradigm for network function virtualization through the integration of software defined network and information technology (IT) platforms, as well as for the control/management of flexible IP router platforms To answer the need for increased energy efficiency of the network function virtualization paradigms, DROP includes sophisticated power management mechanisms, which are exposed by means of the green abstraction layer (GAL), under consideration for standardization in ETSI Moreover, the DROP architecture has been specifically designed to act as ?glue? among a large number of the most promising and well-known open source software projects, providing network dataor control-plane capabilities

Netmap: a novel framework for fast packet I/O
Luigi Rizzo
- 13 Jun 2012
TL;DR: The novelty in the proposal is not only that it exceeds the performance of most of previous work, but also that it provides an architecture that is tightly integrated with existing operating system primitives, not tied to specific hardware, and easy to use and maintain.
On scalability of software-defined networking
TL;DR: This article deconstruct scalability concerns in software-defined networking and argues that they are not unique to SDN, and enumerate overlooked yet important opportunities and challenges in scalability beyond the commonly used performance metrics.

TCAM architecture for IP lookup using prefix properties
V.C. Ravikumar,Rabi N. Mahapatra +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a two-level pipelined architecture that reduces power consumption through memory compaction and the selective enablement of only a portion of the TCAM array, and introduces the idea of prefix aggregation and prefix expansion to reduce the number of routing-table entries in TCAMs for IP lookup.
