FlowBlaze on Fed4FIRE+ FB-FIRE Final Results of the Experiment

The aim of FB-FIRE is to test, validate and assess in the Fed4FIRE+ Virtual Wall testbed the performance of FlowBlaze, a novel stateful programmable dataplane engine that can simplify network functions (NF) design and implementation, while providing high performance packet forwarding, and support for future hardware offloading to SmartNICs. FlowBlaze is an abstraction that can be implemented in an efficient DPDK-accelerated software engine, conceived to rapidly design and deploy complex network functions hiding the complexity of software optimizations associated to the development of network functions.
