Step It Down A Notch: 100 Gbit S Software Visiting 10 Gbit S Land

This document provides information for a thesis related to porting a P4-based traffic generator framework from 100 Gbit/s hardware to 10 Gbit/s hardware. The goals are to port the existing framework to the 10 Gbit/s realm, introduce additional measurement scenarios, and verify the portability and implementation with benchmarks on selected 10 Gbit/s hardware targets. The tasks involve familiarizing oneself with P4 and related concepts, ensuring portability of the existing framework, introducing new measurement scenarios, and verifying the portability and implementation. Contact information is provided for three people to discuss the thesis further.

Step It Down a Notch:


100 Gbit s−1 Software Visiting 10 Gbit s−1 Land

Motivation
In 2014, Bosshart et al. proposed P4, a
domain-specific programming language
for operator-programmable networking
devices based on the concept of SDN.
Soon, manufactures started introducing
hardware with P4 support, some with
support for rates up to 100 Gbit s−1 . A
previous work at the chair developed a
P4-based traffic generator for such a de-
vice as part of a feasibility study. However, results of this work
focus on measurements with rates exceeding capabilities of most
available devices and are limited to selected test cases. Hence,
porting the framework to the realms of 10 Gbit s−1 hardware fol-
lowed by performance measurements of selected targets with
newly implemented scenarios are goals of this work. These sce-
narios may include uniform traffic of various shape, as well as, het-
erogeneous traffic, among others.

Your Task
Familiarize yourself with P4 and related concepts
Ensure portability of the existing framework
Introduce additional measurement scenarios
Verify portability and implementation with benchmarks
