The network switches and routers need to forward the network packets at a line-rate. The
underlying hardware and software implementations may limit the performance of these …

The future of networking switches and routers foresees in two key features: Programmability
and Throughput. In this letter, we propose a Traffic Offload Switch (TOSwitch) model for such …

Describes Tiny Tera: a small, high-bandwidth, single-stage switch. Tiny Tera has 32 ports
switching fixed-size packets, each operating at over 10 Gbps (approximately the Sonet OC …

This thesis work proposes ReFlex Switch, a novel, scalable on-chip packet switch
architecture, that is designed to interconnect heterogeneous IP cores at high speeds. One …

In this paper, we propose a reconfigurable packet processing hardware architecture for
future switch, in which several protocol‐independent action units are introduced to remove …

We provide a review of the state of the art and the future of packet processing and switching.
The industry's response to the need for wire-speed packet processing devices whose …

Customizable packet processing is an important aspect of next-generation networks. Packet
processing architectures using multi-core systems on a chip can be difficult to program. In …

The real world network packet processing demands high performance hardware to achieve
the required speed. This paper proposes the various hardware optimizations on payload …

With effective packet-scheduling mechanisms, modern integrated networks can support the
diverse quality-of-service requirements of emerging applications. However, arbitrating …

Hybrid switches are a new approach of combining the flexibility of programmable switches
with the power of packet forwarding on standardized hardware. Those hybrid switches …
