DESCRIPTION:Internet evolution is driven by a continuous stream of new app
 lications\, as well as users driving the demand for these services. To kee
 p up with this\, a never-stopping research has been transforming the Inter
 net ecosystem over the time. Technological changes/improvements on both pr
 otocols (the uptake of IPv6) and network architectures (the adoption of SD
 N) introduced new challenges for ASIC designers. In particular\, IPv6 and 
 OpenFlow increased the complexity of the rule matching problem\, forcing r
 esearchers to build new packet classification algorithms able to keep pace
  with a steady growth of link speed. As a result\, despite lots of researc
 h has been carried out over the last years\, packet classification is stil
 l a hot topic.\n\nThe availability of small numbers of real rule sets and 
 synthetic ones\, generated with tools such as ClassBench\, has boosted res
 earch in the IPv4 world. In this talk I will present ClassBench-ng\, a new
  open source tool for the generation of synthetic IPv4\, IPv6 and OpenFlow
  1.0 rule sets showing similar characteristics of real ones. This tool was
  built upon results of an analysis of rule sets taken from current operati
 onal environments with the aim of meeting the requirements of nowadays res
 earchers and boosting the rule matching research as ClassBench has done si
 nce ten years ago.\n\nBio:\nJiri Matousek is a Ph.D. student at Faculty of
  Information Technology\, Brno University of Technology. His research is f
 ocused on hardware acceleration of network algorithms using FPGAs and gene
 ration of synthetic data sets for their benchmarking. He also works for CE
 SNET (Czech NREN) where he is a member of a team that developed COMBO-CG c
 ard\, the world's first 100GE capable FPGA-based network interface card.\n
