OVS mirror offload – monitoring without impacting performance

Following some recent work to run VXLAN using HW offload, the Napatech OVS offload initiative now explores another important feature: mirror offload. Learn how this enables monitoring without affecting performance of the overall system.

Solving the NFV Challenge: The Need for Virtualized Acceleration and Offloads

In continuation of his previous blog on the history, vision and challenges of NFV, Daniel Proch now moves on to discuss the solutions that are required to overcome those challenges.

ACL HW acceleration in VPP shows great performance improvements

Today virtual switches like OVS and VPP implement ACL in SW. ACL is a run-through-all-until-match rule matcher and is therefore more expensive than a simple hash based lookup mechanism. ACL HW acceleration can make a huge difference for performance.

Is it time to reimagine the NFV infrastructure?

In the run-up to SDN World Congress in The Hague, it is interesting to note that it was at this very show in Dusseldorf 5 years ago that the original NFV whitepaper was first presented. How time flies!

Effective NFV MANO Calls for Automated NFVI

In the world of fin tech, data capture has never exactly been the sexiest area of development.

But as market participants ready themselves for a new wave of trading rules, and as competition among cutting edge trading firms has shown no sign of abating, the importance of data capture has taken on much greater significance.

Embracing Service Agility, NFV Infrastructure Automation and the New Cloud Reality

At Mobile World Congress recently, I was privileged to be invited to speak on a panel debating NFV. The topic of the panel discussion was “NFV: a re-examination” and included participants from Telefonica, InterDigital Europe, Cisco, Spirent and Red Hat.
