Technical Spotlight
Technical Training
x86-Based Platforms Today in Core and Edge in the SDN World
A recent article from TechTarget* argued that "Network and IT professionals should consider software-based routers for many specific routing requirements. Specific parts of the network that can be in scope for software routing include data center routing, branch routing, and specific edge routing functions....Router functions that are not currently in the scope of software-based routing include high-performance edge and core routers and routers with support for highly specialized (non-IP, legacy) protocols."
Is this really true? Venky Venkatesan, Principal Engineer at Intel, the employee who started DPDK, will share his view on the subject and Intel's go-to-market strategy in the data plane processing area. He will be joined by Yudai Yamagishi, Research Engineer at NTT Communications,* who will discuss NTT's work on a software router that satisfies the performance and routing table size requirements of a core router of an internet service provider.
