Disaggregating and Consolidating Network Functionalities

Yizhou Shan, Will Lin, Ryan Kosta, Arvind Krishnamurthy, Yiying Zhang

Resource disaggregation has gained huge popularity in recent years. Existing works demonstrate how to disaggregate compute, memory, and storage resources. We, for the first time, demonstrate how to disaggregate network resources by proposing a new distributed hardware framework called SuperNIC. Each SuperNIC connects a small set of endpoints and consolidates network functionalities for these endpoints. We prototyped SuperNIC with FPGA and demonstrate its performance and cost benefits with real network functions and customized disaggregated applications.
