诸如UNIX套接字、DPDK、Netmap等网络api假定网络只提供端到端连接。然而，网络越来越多地包括智能网卡和可编程交换机，可以实现网络和应用功能。最近的一些工作已经显示了将应用程序功能卸载到网络的好处，但是使用这些方法不仅需要更改应用程序，还需要更改网络和系统配置。在本文中，我们提出了Bertha，这是一个网络API，它为卸载提供了统一的抽象，旨在简化它们的使用。
Network APIs such as UNIX sockets, DPDK, Netmap, etc. assume that networks provide only end-to-end connectivity. However, networks increasingly include smart NICs and programmable switches that can implement both network and application functions. Several recent works have shown the benefit of offloading application functionality to the network, but using these approaches requires changing not just the applications, but also network and system configuration. In this paper we propose Bertha, a network API that provides a uniform abstraction for offloads, aiming to simplify their use.
