MANO – Management and Orchestration

Management and orchestration (MANO) is a key element of the ETSI network functions virtualization (NFV) architecture. In this framework, network services can be virtualized and the proposed MANO is responsible to manage the service life cycle on top of the network function virtualization infrastructure (NFVI). Orchestration allocates resources for the network services...

Faster Software Packet Processing on FPGA NICs with eBPF Program Warping

ABSTRACT FPGA NICs can improve packet processing performance, however, programming them is difficult, and existing solutions to enable software packet processing on FPGA either provide limited packet processing speed, or require changes to programs and to their development/deployment life cycle. We address the issue with program warping, a new technique that improves...
