Abstract

Network slicing for wide-area coordinated packet processing has attracted attentions for improving efficiency of handling network traffic. We have recently proposed a tag-based network slicing mechanism called OpenTag, and introduced the prototype implementation of the OpenTag redirector on an evaluation board. In this paper, we investigate the integration of the OpenTag redirector into a commercial network device. Our contributions are three-fold: (1) designing the architecture aiming OpenTag-capable intermediaries embedded on commercial network devices, (2) implementing a prototype of the embedded OpenTag redirector using the Advanced Mezzanine Card (AMC) which has an OCTEON network processor, (3) showing our implementation can tolerate high bandwidth environment.
