NetFPGA project wins SOSR System Award
31 March 2019
San Jose, California, USA, April 3rd, 2019. The NetFPGA project was
awarded today the ACM SIGCOMM SOSR System Award. The award recognises
the development of a software system that has had a significant impact
on SDN research, implementations, and tools.
The NetFPGA is an open platform enabling researchers and students to
build high-speed, hardware-accelerated networking systems. The
platform is used by researchers to prototype advanced services for
next-generation networks. It is also used in the classroom to teach
students how to build network devices, such as Ethernet switches and
Internet Protocol (IP) routers. The platform combines both hardware
(boards) and software (embedded, tools and applications), together
with reference designs and community contributed projects.
Originally developed for teaching at Stanford in 2002 and becoming
widely available in 2003, NetFPGA has developed a large community of
over 1200 users, using more than 3500 cards, at over 300 universities,
in over 60 countries across 6 continents. Alongside supporting
academic teaching and research, NetFPGA sees use and contributions
from professional research community with over 50 active
corporate-based contributors.
The prominent early success of NetFPGA has been its contribution
to OpenFlow, which in turn reignited the Software Defined Networking
movement. By providing a widely available open-source OpenFlow
development platform capable of line-rate operation, NetFPGA was,
until commercial uptake, the reference hardware platform for
OpenFlow.
In recent years, NetFPGA was increasingly used for the prototyping of
programmable data planes, and it currently offers the only open-source
hardware target for P4 programs (previously through P4FPGA, and
nowadays using the P4->NetFPGA framework).
NetFPGA has been used for the implementation of over 500 research
projects, and to date has been referenced in over three thousand
publications.
The NetFPGA project is academically led by the Universities of
Cambridge and Stanford, supported by generous donations from Xilinx,
Micron, Cypress and Linear Technologies and generous support from
the National Science Foundation, DARPA, the Research Council UK
through the Engineering and Physical Sciences Council, and the
European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. More …
