The NetFPGA-10G UPB OpenFlow Switch
Welcome to the NetFPGA-10G-UPB-OpenFlow repository.
Please read the provided documentation carefully before using this code.
This repository contains the NetFPGA-10G UPB Framework along with two projects:
- upb_l2switch: A simple layer 2 network switch based on the NetFPGA-10G card.
- upb_openflowswitch: The hardware implementation which is part of an OpenFlow Switch. A modified version of Open vSwitch is required (available here).
Please note that the NetFPGA-10G UPB Framework is not compatible with the Stanford NetFPGA-10G Framework.
Feature Overview
- Jumbo Frame Support
- Large output queues using the external QDR2-SRAM memory
- Flow Control using ethernet pause frames
- Driver ported to Linux New API
- Support for multiple cards in one host PC
- Support for Samtec high speed port to interconnect multiple cards
