The router based on ForCES (Forwarding and Control Element Separation) meets the open, flexible and programmable demands of the next generation networks. It is one important trend of the next generation routers. Our research team is key participants in the ForCES work and authors of the IETF ForCES protocol. A LFB management and development model based on ForCES router software architecture was illustrated. The ForCES router software structure was first discussed. Based on that, the model was presented. Based on that, the architecture of this model was described. The key technologies on how to manage resource library were described, including the method of LFB resource library management and the mechanism of ForCES LFB resource internal storage. In order to testify the feasibility, an implementation of the model was presented, and an example of an IPv6 forwarding service implementation was given.
