  Abstract

The network traffic has been exponentially grown and it is expected that the growth will continue. To meet the market requirements, high bandwidth NICs with 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps or even more have been developed and widely used. However, there is no guarantee that the traffic from the high bandwidth NICs can be properly processed in a system with general purpose operating systems, because the operating systems have been developed for general computing not for network centric. To fill the gap between high bandwidth requirement and operating system’s processing capability, many fast packet processing techniques and data plane acceleration technologies have been proposed and implemented upon general purpose operating systems, especially Linux. In this article, after checking the packet processing of general purpose operating system, focusing on Linux, and its issues, then, various techniques for fast packet processing are investigated. It, then, reviews the different types of data plane acceleration technologies with the packet processing techniques.
