要:
Today’s networks are responsible for more
than routing packets and perform a wide range of functionality such as
firewalls, proxies, and caches to improve performance and security. Specialized
hardware devices used to run these functions but are no longer a great choice
for cloud providers and large carriers due to high cost and low flexibility.
Software-based networking technologies such as Network Function Virtualization
(NFV) and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) promise to offer agility,
flexibility and reduce the expenditures for network operators. However, there
are challenges across the system, application, and service layers to fully
achieve these benefits.
In this talk, I will present my research
on designing new abstractions for network functions to run in software-based
environments. First, I will present OpenNetVM, an open source NFV platform that allows
researchers and developers to quickly develop and deploy network services
inside of containers. I will show how OpenNetVM achieves high performance and
flexibility by decoupling service management from the packet processing. Then,
I will present Microboxes, a novel service chaining abstraction
designed to support transport and application layer network functions. I will
show how Microboxes eliminates redundant processing and
enables a modular design by breaking the “packet-centric” model used by
existing NFV frameworks.
