Abstract

Scaling the software packet processing capability of Network Function Virtualization (NFV) on multi-core commodity server to meet the high performance, e.g. 100 Gbps linespeed and beyond, is still a challenging task. We find that two existing service function chain (SFC) execution models often fail to scale up to the linespeed with increasing and diverse traffic. To this end, we present a novel hybrid execution model with the scalability, flexibility to attain high performance packet processing rate.
