New approaches to data plane programmability for software datapaths in the NFV infrastructure
Tomasz Osiński, Halina Tarasiuk · 2023
In this paper, we summarize the accomplished PhD work on data plane programmability for software datapaths in a virtualized network infrastructure. In particular, we explain our motivation, the up-to-date state of the art, and propose two new solutions for programmable software datapaths, namely P4rt-OVS and NIKSS. Finally, we present research outcomes and future work directions.
