Reconfigurable Router Modules Using Network Protocol Wrappers

Florian Braun, John Lockwood, Marcel Waldvogel:
Reconfigurable Router Modules Using Network Protocol Wrappers,
Field-Programmable Logic and Applications (FPL 2001), Lecture Notes in Computer Science 2147, pp. 254-263, August 2001.

Abstract

A library of layered protocol wrappers has been developed that process Internet packets in reconfigurable hardware. These wrappers can be used with a reprogrammable network platform called the Field Programmable Port Extender (FPX) to rapidly prototype hardware circuits for processing Internet packets. We present a framework to streamline and simplify the development of networking applications that process ATM cells, AAL5 frames, Internet Protocol (IP) packets and UDP datagrams directly in hardware.
