因特网为各种媒体形式的信息获取和共享开辟了新的途径。这种普及导致骨干网链路的资源消耗增加，为了满足不断增长的带宽需求，骨干网链路的容量进行了多次升级。因此，以今天的数据传输速率处理网络流量是一项非常苛刻的任务，传统上是通过为特定任务量身定制的专用硬件来完成的。然而，这些方法要么缺乏灵活性，要么缺乏可扩展性，要么两者兼而有之。作为一种替代办法，研究界指出利用商品硬件，这可能提供灵活和可扩展的成本意识解决方案，因此需要大量减少业务和资本支出投资。在这一章中，我们提供了一个使用商用硬件的高性能网络流量处理的概览式介绍。我们提供了必要的背景，以了解文献中提出的实现高速无损数据包捕获的不同解决方案，并对其进行了回顾和比较。
The Internet has opened new avenues for information accessing and sharing in a variety of media formats. Such popularity has resulted in an increase of the amount of resources consumed in backbone links, whose capacities have witnessed numerous upgrades to cope with the ever-increasing demand for bandwidth. Consequently, network traffic processing at today’s data transmission rates is a very demanding task, which has been traditionally accomplished by means of specialized hardware tailored to specific tasks. However, such approaches lack either of flexibility or extensibility—or both. As an alternative, the research community has pointed to the utilization of commodity hardware, which may provide flexible and extensible cost-aware solutions, ergo entailing large reductions of the operational and capital expenditure investments. In this chapter, we provide a survey-like introduction to high-performance network traffic processing using commodity hardware. We present the required background to understand the different solutions proposed in the literature to achieve high-speed lossless packet capture, which are reviewed and compared.
