Abstract

In this paper, we propose an architectural design to improve lookup performance of OpenFlow switching in Linux using a standard commodity network interface card based on the Intel 82599 Gigabit Ethernet controller. We describe our design and report our preliminary results that show packet switching throughput increasing up to 25 percent compared to the throughput of regular software-based OpenFlow switching.
