[Click] Click on Network Appliance ?

[Marc E. Fiuczynski]

Hi Beyers & Eddie,

The SOSP paper you mentioned was done by folks before my arrival at
Princeton.

You might also be interested in:

Niraj Shah, William Plishker, Kurt Keutzer, "NP-Click: A Programming Model
for the Intel IXP1200", http://www.gigascale.org/pubs/356.html


which is a NP-2 '03 (HPCA-9 workshop) paper that describes a programming
model to push Click onto an Intel IXP1200 NP system; note that they did not
get their code to run on a real IXP1200 system, but instead ran it on an
emulator. Their claim was that an implementation of a IPv4 dataplane on such
is system is only 7% slower than a IPX-C handcoded version.  The take away
is that one should be able to rapidly prototype in user-level and
incrementally push it closer to hardware all within the same Click
framework.
