Abstract

The demand-led growth of datacenter networks has meant that many constituent technologies are beyond the budget of the research community. In order to make and validate timely and relevant research contributions, the wider research community requires accessible evaluation, experimentation and demonstration environments with specification comparable to the subsystems of the most massive datacenter networks. We present NetFPGA SUME, an FPGA-based PCIe board with I/O capabilities for 100Gb/s operation as NIC, multiport switch, firewall, or test/measurement environment. As a powerful new NetFPGA platform, SUME provides an accessible development environment that both reuses existing codebases and enables new designs.
