Next Generation Router

In traditional router, it usually consists of forwarding element (FE) and control element (CE). However, there is a tight coupling between FE model and logical functions, thus restricting service innovation and user customized ability. In this context, we explore the insightful prospect of functional integration between logical function-based FE model and strategy-driven FE model to propose a new FE model. In this paper, we firstly propose an idea of FE-Brick model for next-generation router architecture, which includes two types of elements: logical function-based FE (LFFE) and strategy-driven FE (SFE). LFFE is a collection of logical functions, which is the same as FE model in traditional routers; and SFE uses flow-strategy to determine forwarding behavior of each packet. FE model can be regarded as a cluster of SFEs and LFFEs, where these elements are optionally interconnected in the similar way as the “building block” game. At last, we establish two demos on FE-Brick model and further evaluate their performance.

<div><div>Programmable data plane technology enables the systematic reconfiguration of the low-level processing steps applied to network packets and is a key driver in realizing the next generation of network services and applications. This survey presents recent trends and issues in the design and implementation of programmable network devices, focusing on prominent architectures, abstractions, algorithms, and applications proposed, debated, and realized over the past years. We elaborate on the trends that led to the emergence of this technology and highlight the most important pointers from the literature, casting different taxonomies for the field and identifying avenues for future research.</div></div>
