  3. Section I: Motivation

  4. NetFPGA = Networked FPGA A line-rate, flexible, open networking platform for teaching and research

  5. NetFPGA consists of… NetFPGA 1G Board Four elements: • NetFPGA board • Tools + reference designs • Contributed projects • Community NetFPGA 10G Board

  6. NetFPGA-10G • A major upgrade over the 1Gb/s predecessor • State-of-the-art technology

  7. 10 Gigabit Ethernet • 4 SFP+ Cages • AEL2005 PHY • 10G Support • Direct Attach Copper • 10GBASE-R Optical Fiber • 1G Support • 1000BASE-T Copper • 1000BASE-X Optical Fiber

  8. Others • QDRII-SRAM • 27MB • Storing routing tables, counters and statistics • RLDRAM-II • 288MB • Packet Buffering • PCI Express x8 • PC Interface • Expansion Slot

  9. Xilinx Virtex 5 TX240T • Optimized for ultra high-bandwidth applications • 48 GTX Transceivers • 4 hard Tri-mode Ethernet MACs • 1 hard PCI Express Endpoint

  10. NetFPGA Board Comparison

  11. Beyond Hardware • NetFPGA-10G Board • Xilinx EDK based IDE • Reference designs with ARM AXI4 • Software (embedded and PC) • Public Repository • Public Wiki GitHub, User Community MicroBlaze SW PC SW Xilinx EDK Reference Designs AXI4 IPs

  12. NetFPGA board PC with NetFPGA 10GE FPGA 10GE 10GE Memory 10GE NetworkingSoftware running on a standard PC CPU Memory PCIe A hardware accelerator built with a Field Programmable Gate Arraydriving 10 Gigabit network links

  13. Tools + Reference Designs Tools: • Compile designs • Verify designs • Interact with hardware Reference designs: • Router (HW) • Switch (HW) • Network Interface Card (HW) • Router Kit (SW) • SCONE (SW)

  14. Contributed Projects More projects: • https://github.com/NetFPGA/NetFPGA-public/wiki/Projects

  15. Community Wiki • Documentation • User’s Guide “so you just got your first NetFPGA” • Developer’s Guide “so you want to build a …” • Encourage users to contribute Forums • Support by users for users • Active community - 10s-100s of posts/week • Incubating the 10G mailing-list into a forum

  16. International Community Over 1,000 users, using 2,000 cards at 150 universities in 40 countries

  17. NetFPGA’s Defining Characteristics • Line-Rate • Processes back-to-back packets • Without dropping packets • At full rate of 10 Gigabit Ethernet Links • Operating on packet headers • For switching, routing, and firewall rules • And packet payloads • For content processing and intrusion prevention • Open-source Hardware • Similar to open-source software • Full source code available • BSD-Style License for 1G and LGPL 2.1 for 10G • But harder, because • Hardware modules must meeting timing • Verilog & VHDL Components have more complex interfaces • Hardware designers need high confidence in specification of modules

  18. Test-Driven Design • Regression tests • Have repeatable results • Define the supported features • Provide clear expectation on functionality • Example: Internet Router • Drops packets with bad IP checksum • Performs Longest Prefix Matching on destination address • Forwards IPv4 packets of length 64-1500 bytes • Generates ICMP message for packets with TTL <= 1 • Defines how packets with IP options or non IPv4 … and dozens more … Every feature is defined by a regression test

  19. Who, How, Why Who uses the NetFPGA? • Teachers • Students • Researchers How do they use the NetFPGA? • To run the Router Kit • To build modular reference designs • IPv4 router • 4-port NIC • Ethernet switch, … Why do they use the NetFPGA? • To measure performance of Internet systems • To prototype new networking systems

  20. Spring Camp Objectives • Overall picture of NetFPGA • How reference designs work • How you can work on a project • NetFPGA Design Flow • Directory Structure, library modules and projects • How to utilize contributed projects • Interface/Registers • How to verify a design (Simulation and Regression Tests) • Things to do when you get stuck AND… You can build your own projects!

  21. Section II: Network review

  22. Internet Protocol (IP) Data to be transmitted: Data … IP packets: IP Hdr IP Hdr IP Hdr Data Data Data … Ethernet Frames: Eth Hdr Eth Hdr Eth Hdr IP Hdr IP Hdr IP Hdr Data Data Data

  23. Internet Protocol (IP) Data … 1 4 16 32 Ver HLen T.Service Total Packet Length Fragment ID Flags Fragment Offset IP Hdr Data 20 bytes TTL Protocol Header Checksum Source Address Destination Address Options (if any)

  44. Buffer Sizing Story

  45. Using NetFPGA to explore buffer size • Need to reduce buffer size and measure occupancy • Alas, not possible in commercial routers • So, we will use the NetFPGA instead Objective: • Use the NetFPGA to understand how large a buffer we need for a single TCP flow.
