Abstract

In-network processing (INP) is being used to cope with the large volume of data streams that need to be analyzed in real-time of data transmission rather than being stored and computed by powerful servers. In this paper, we combine the programmable switch OpenFlow with network virtualization and design the INP platform OFIAS, i.e., OpenFlow In A Slice. With the flexibility of OpenFlow and the scalable multiplexing of virtualization, OFIAS can smoothly support multi-party INP with well isolation and attractive performance in comparison to other approaches.
