SUMMARY:Usage of FPGA for Passive Network Monitoring - Martin Zadnik (Brno
  University of Technology)
DTSTART:20081023T150000Z

DESCRIPTION:Hardware-accelerated network monitoring is essential to meet t
 he requirements of line rate network traffic processing without a packet l
 oss.\nOn the other hand\, hardware in form of ASIC (Application Specific I
 ntegrated Circuit) misses the flexibility of software-based tools.\nThe tr
 ade-off between software and hardware seems to be FPGAs (Field Programmabl
 e Gate Arrays).\n\nIn the presentation\, I will talk about acceleration of
  two widespread network monitoring applications\, NetFlow and Snort. I wil
 l describe the network acceleration platform\, design and algorithms used 
 for implementation of these two applications\, achieved results\, deployme
 nt and future directions.\n
