SUMMARY:NetFPGA: The Flexible Open-Source Networking Platform - Andrew Moo
 re\, University of Cambridge

DESCRIPTION:The NetFPGA is an open platform enabling researchers and instr
 uctors to build high-speed\, hardware-accelerated networking systems. The 
 NetFPGA is the de-facto experimental platform for line-rate implementation
 s of network research and it continues with a new generation platform capa
 ble of 4x10Gbps.\n\nThe target audience is not restricted to hardware rese
 archers: the NetFPGA provides the ideal platform for research across a wid
 e range of networking topics from architecture to algorithms and from ener
 gy-efficient design to routing and forwarding. The most prominent NetFPGA 
 success is OpenFlow\, which in turn has reignited the Software Defined Net
 working movement. NetFPGA enabled OpenFlow by providing a widely available
  open-source development platform capable of line-rate and was\, until its
  commercial uptake\, the reference platform for OpenFlow. NetFPGA enables 
 high-impact network research.\n\nThis seminar will combine presentation an
 d demonstration\; no knowledge of hardware programming languages (eg Veril
 og/VHDL) is required.
