Research on Data Center Network Design Based on Server Multiport Intelligent Network Interface Controller

数据中心承担着现代社会的信息服务,然而当前基于传统网卡的数据中心面临着严重的性能瓶颈,难以适应高效数据传输处理需求。通过结合以服务器为中心的数据中心网络和多端口智能网卡的优点,提出了基于多端口智能网卡的数据中心网络MPS-DCN架构设计,并以MPS-Cube为例介绍其构造和路由过程。该类网络设计能够充分利用多端口智能网卡的可编程性,实现智能化的网络协议处理和网络功能卸载,从而提升网络吞吐量。

Data center undertakes the information service of modern society.However,the current data centers based on the traditional network interface controller are facing serious performance bottleneck,which is difficult to meet the needs of efficient data transmission and processing.By combining the advantages of server centered data center network and multiport intelligent network interface controller,the architecture design of data center network MPS-DCN based on multiport intelligent network interface controller is proposed,and its structure and routing process are introduced by taking MPS-Cube as an example.This kind of network design can make full use of the programmability of multiport intelligent network interface controller to realize intelligent network protocol processing and network function unloading,so as to improve the network throughput.
