Description
Summary:Open vSwitch as the basis of SDN (software-defined networking) technology has been widely explored. Open vSwitch is also a technology that supports the opensource development of SDN. Unfortunately SDN implementation using Open vSwitch has not been much implemented on real-life network architecture. Open vSwitch, which is a software, has limitations in terms of performance. Unlike the switches in general, which are designed up to the hardware part so that it has a much higher performance than having to use Open vSwitch which only reaches software level. This problem was tried to be solved initially by Intel to improve the performance of this Open vSwitch software. The result, Intel created a DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit) library that is useful for overcoming some performance weaknesses that exist in native Open vSwitch. In the process of creating an Open vSwitch with DPDK, it needs certain design and configuration on PC system. This book will explain the steps to design and configure a system, so that the system supports Open vSwitch - DPDK. To test whether the design process is working, the design will be implemented on a mini personal computer. This PC will then be converted into a network switch made from Open vSwitch and using the DPDK library to support its performance limitation.
