The NetFPGA-10G UPB OpenFlow Switch

Welcome to the NetFPGA-10G-UPB-OpenFlow repository.

Please read the provided documentation carefully before using this code.

This repository contains the NetFPGA-10G UPB Framework along with two projects:

  • upb_l2switch: A simple layer 2 network switch based on the NetFPGA-10G card.
  • upb_openflowswitch: The hardware implementation which is part of an OpenFlow Switch. A modified version of Open vSwitch is required (available here).

Please note that the NetFPGA-10G UPB Framework is not compatible with the Stanford NetFPGA-10G Framework.

Feature Overview

  • Jumbo Frame Support
  • Large output queues using the external QDR2-SRAM memory
  • Flow Control using ethernet pause frames
  • Driver ported to Linux New API
  • Support for multiple cards in one host PC
  • Support for Samtec high speed port to interconnect multiple cards

Requirements & Prerequisites

To build the projects you will need the following software (different versions might work):

  • Ubuntu 14.04
  • Linux Kernel 3.14
  • Synplify Premier DP 2012.09-SP1
  • Xilinx ISE 14.7
  • Xilinx XPS 14.7

Licenses for the following IP cores are needed:

  • Xilinx 10G MAC
  • Xilinx Aurora

This project was created as part of the project group On-the-fly Networking for Big Data at University of Paderborn.
