实现面向未来的网内计算数据平面生态系统的路线图
A Roadmap for Enabling a Future-Proof In-Network Computing Data Plane Ecosystem
摘要:
随着网络内计算的愿景变得更加成熟,我们看到了两个并行的演变趋势。首先,我们看到了更丰富、要求更高的应用的发展,这些应用需要可编程交换ASIC之外的功能。其次,我们看到了各种数据平面技术的发展,以及许多其他未来功能的出现。虽然存在一些点解决方案来解决这些趋势的交叉点,但我们今天看到了一些生态系统层面的脱节;例如,需要为新数据平面重构应用程序,缺乏系统的指导方针来指导未来数据平面功能的开发,以及缺乏针对网络运营商的整体运行时框架。在本文中,我们使用一个简单但有指导意义的新兴应用程序-数据平面组合来突出这些断开。根据这些经验教训,我们为社区制定了一个高层次的路线图和指导方针,以解决这些问题,从而创建一个更加繁荣的“面向未来”的数据平面生态系统。
英文摘要:
As the vision of in-network computing becomes more mature, we see two parallel evolutionary trends. First, we see the evolution of richer, more demanding applications that require capabilities beyond programmable switching ASICs. Second, we see the evolution of diverse data plane technologies with many other future capabilities on the horizon. While some point solutions exist to tackle the intersection of these trends, we see several ecosystem-level disconnects today; e.g., the need to refactor applications for new data planes, lack of systematic guidelines to inform the development of future data plane capabilities, and lack of holistic runtime frameworks for network operators. In this paper, we use a simple-yet-instructive emerging application-data plane combination to highlight these disconnects. Drawing on these lessons, we sketch a high-level roadmap and guidelines for the community to tackle these to create a more thriving "future-proof" data plane ecosystem.
