Abstract

The advanced programmability and high level of parallelism can turn commodity servers into powerful and extensible packet processing platforms. A commodity server can consolidate multiple processing functions, performing the role of a multiple-purpose “software middlebox”. To this end, the knowledge of the workloads’ computational requirements is a prerequisite for efficient resource utilization and admission control. Workload computational requirements can vary depending on packet I/O techniques and optimizations, and therefore, previously reported CPU cycle measurements may not be applicable to packet processing systems where a different I/O technique is exercised.
