High Performance P4 Software Switch - Week 10

[Yuri Iozzelli]

Hi

Project summary
========================

In this project I would like to implement a modified version of the
reference p4 (http://p4.org) switch on FreeBSD, which uses netmap for
faster packet I/O: the goal would be reaching the 1 Mpps order-of-magnitude
speed (current reference implementation is limited to 150 Kpps for a simple
l2 switch with 2 hosts).


Week 10
=========================

I developed a more advanced version of the lockless queue, now supporting
multiple output threads.
Also preliminary work to implement priority queuing and rate limiting.
