Network innovation is encountering great challenge, while conventional close environment of network can not meet the need of network innovation. NetMagic designed by National University of Defense and Technology is a new open and reprogrammable switch platform towards the innovation of NGI (Next Generation Internet) architecture. NetMagic can support rapid implementation and deployment of new protocols and packet processing mechanisms efficiently. We present an Ethernet-based remote access and control method for NetMagic, define NetMagic access and control protocol (NMAC protocol for short) for interaction between Controller and NetMagic, introduce the basic interactive model, present the design both in software and hardware, and finally verify the method and analyze the performance.
