SUMMARY:Seminar Presentation by a new LINCS associate member "Performance
 Benchmarking of State-of-the-Art Software Switches for NFV"
DESCRIPTION:With the goal of replacing proprietary hardware appliances with
 Virtual Network Functions (VNFs) implemented in software\, Network Function
 Virtualization (NFV) has gained popularity in the past few years. Software
 switches are widely employed to route traffic between VNFs and physical
 Network Interface Cards (NICs). It is thus of paramount importance to
 compare the performance of different switch designs and architectures. In
 this paper\, we propose a methodology to compare fairly and comprehensively
 the performance of software switches. We first explore the design spaces of
 7 state-of-the-art software switches and then compare their performance
 under four representative test scenarios. Each scenario corresponds to a
 specific case of routing NFV traffic between NICs and/or VNFs. In our
 experiments\, we evaluate the throughput and latency between VNFs in two of
 the most popular virtualization environments\, namely virtual machines
 (VMs) and containers. Our experimental results show that no single software
 switch prevails in all scenarios. It is\, therefore\, crucial to choose the
 most suitable solution for the given use case. At the same time\, the
 presented results and analysis provide a more in-depth insight into the
 design tradeoffs and identify potential performance bottlenecks that could
 inspire new designs.
