可重构可演进的网络功能创新平台

A Reconfigurable and Evolvable Platform for Network Function Innovation

随着互联网的发展,新的网络体系和网络协议不断涌现。但由于传统网络设备硬件固化,限制了新型网络的试验和部署。针对此问题,提出了一种可重构可演进的网络功能创新平台,通过在软件平面对网络功能进行组合编排,完成了服务能力对业务需求的适应;然后,在硬件平面使用可配置可组合的元操作单元作为数据处理单元,实现了底层处理流程对上层功能的自适应承载;最后,结合两个应用案例分析了该平台的应用前景。

With the development of the internet, new network architectures and new protocols are emerging. But because of the the inflexible circuits of traditional network devices, the experiment and deployment of new functions are limited. To dealing with this problem, a reconfigurable and evolvable platform for network function innovation was proposed, which could adapt to the demand of network services by orchestrating functional modules in software plane. Then, configurable meta operation unit was used as data processing packet in hardware plane. Finally, the application prospect of the proposed innovation platform was given combined with two use cases.
