2. Overview Trend: new applications are moving into the edges of the network The core remains unchanged Easy to add “box” to the network to obtain new services This is leading to trouble… Myriad configurations, vendors, platforms, programming environments Combinations of these functionalities hard to understand, manage, and control We propose Programmable Network Elements (PNEs) General service platform for the edge Simple, composable, stateful, and customizable packet filters create packet processing paths in the router Our specification language makes packet processing as well as stream processing a first-class citizen How to deploy? What infrastructure can be utilized to evaluate our design?

8. Future Directions Management and Control

9. Virtual->Physical Mapping PNE 20ms Delay 5% drop rate 15ms Delay 8% drop rate

10. Virtual->Physical Mapping Update VLANs on the Passport Update interfaces on the linux machines Update routing tables on the linux machines Update packeteer/alteon184 PNE 20ms Delay 5% drop rate 15ms Delay 8% drop rate

11. General Management Ensure that the ISDs are up Alarms when the machines go down, run out of disk space, etc (be careful what you ask for!) Current testbed status via webpage (Partially Completed)
