PRESENTATION

Gbps Open Source Routing
Bengt Gördén, Resilans AB

We have shown how open-source routers on new PC hardware allows for forwarding speeds of 10Gb/s and above. We have also shown how the new 10Gb/s interface classification techniques can be used to separate packet forwarding from control plane operation. It is important to isolate the control-plane from forwarding load, since it makes routing protocol and management operation independent of forwarding load. It also increases the resilience against denial-of-service attacks.
