SUMMARY:RouteBricks: Exploiting Parallelism to Scale Software Routers - Ka
 terina Argyraki (EPFL)

CONTACT:Eiko Yoneki
DESCRIPTION:I will discuss the problem of building fast\, programmable rou
 ters. I will present RouteBricks\, a high-end router architecture that con
 sists entirely of commodity servers. RouteBricks achieves high performance
  by parallelizing router functionality both across multiple servers and ac
 ross multiple cores within a single server\; it is fully programmable usin
 g the familiar Click/Linux environment. I will also present RB4\, our 4-se
 rver prototype that routes at 35Gbps\; this routing capacity can be linear
 ly scaled through the use of additional servers. I will close the talk wit
 h an example of what we can do with RouteBricks - I will briefly discuss a
  simple protocol for Internet-wide troubleshooting and neutrality monitori
 ng.\n\nShort bio:\nKaterina Argyraki got her PhD in Electrical Engineering
  from Stanford University in 2007 and is currently a research scientist at
  EPFL\, Switzerland. For her PhD\, she worked on the TRIAD project and dev
 eloped AITF - a network-based solution to bandwidth flooding.\nBefore join
 ing EPFL\, she  worked for Arista Networks\, helping build the control pla
 ne for high-end switches. Her research interests lie in the areas of netwo
 rk architecture and protocols with a focus on denial-of-service defenses a
 nd network troubleshooting.\n
