Harnessing the Power of Consultive AI in P4 SDN Algorithm Development
The landscape of software development is undergoing a seismic shift, propelled by the advent of artificial intelligence. In the realm of Software Defined Networking (SDN), particularly with P4 programmable devices, this transformation is even more pronounced. As we develop SDN Algorithm training modules and virtual labs using technologies like Vagrant, VirtualBox, and Docker, integrating AI into our workflow is not just beneficial—it’s imperative.
Scaling Network Acceleration using SONiC and Intel IPUs
In the history of the networking industry, one of the most persistent challenges has been the management of a multi-vendor environment. For years, network administrators have struggled with proprietary user interfaces and inconsistent management practices across...
Crossing the Chasm with Intel IPUs
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, the journey from innovation to mainstream adoption is often fraught with challenges. Geoffrey Moore's "Crossing the Chasm" model has long been a guiding framework for understanding this journey. The chasm represents the...
Phoenix Framework
The Phoenix Framework allows you to scale a pool of Intel IPUs to create a Terabit class platform for stateful applications.
Simplifying Network Packet Brokers with Object-Oriented Programming Out of Band Packet Broker
The Problem: Network Packet Brokers (NPB) are essential for filtering traffic and enabling customers to segment that traffic to send to probes and analytics tools. Many NPBs use off-the-shelf merchant switches with Broadcom XGS silicon, which features Filter...
Virtual Appliance Congestion Control
The Problem: Virtual security appliances offer numerous advantages, particularly with hypervisors and orchestration being commoditized to the point where most organizations can leverage these benefits. However, scaling these services poses significant challenges. To...
Linux Network Operating System
A Linux based operating system that incorporated a hardware abstraction layer to support silicon from multiple switch vendors. Also mapped the Linux networking environment to the underlying silicon.
