A Vision for Runtime Programmable Networks
ACM SIGCOMM(2021)
摘要
ABSTRACTOur community has made significant progress in developing programmable network infrastructure, starting from the control plane and expanding to the data plane. As a latest trend, network devices are becoming runtime programmable while serving live traffic. This allows for reprogramming of individual device programs at fine-grained timescales to add or remove network functions. Many applications and services, however, need control over a combination of devices, including end host stacks, NICs, and switches, to accomplish their goals. We lay out our vision for runtime programmable networks, building upon device-level features to provide live, network-wide, runtime reprogramming. A whole-stack approach is needed with new programming models, compiler support, and network management abstractions. We outline a research agenda as a call to arms to the community.
