最近的技术进步为在开放互联网设备领域取得真正有效的结果提供了一个很好的机会，也被称为开放路由器(OR)。自过去几年以来，已启动了一些主动行动，以调查破产管理处和相关问题。但尽管有这些活动，大片有趣的地区仍然需要更深入的调查。这项工作试图通过报告在基于Linux软件和COTS硬件的PC Open Router体系结构上实现的深入优化和测试活动的结果，做出贡献。本文的主要目标是对不同或基于Linux的软件体系结构的转发性能进行评估。这种分析是通过外部(吞吐量和延迟)和内部(分析)测量来执行的。特别是，对于外部测量，提出并分析了一套符合RFC2544标准的测试。
Recent technological advances give a good chance to reach really effective results in the field of open Internet equipments, also called Open Routers (ORs). Some initiatives have been activated since the last few years to investigate the OR and related issues. But despite these activities, large interesting areas still require a deeper investigation. This work tries to give a contribution by reporting the results of an in-depth activity of optimization and testing realized on a PC Open Router architecture based on Linux software and COTS hardware. The main target of this paper has been the forwarding performance evaluation of different OR Linux-based software architectures. This analysis has been performed with both external (throughput and latencies) and internal (profiling) measurements. In particular, for what concerns the external measurements, a set of RFC2544 compliant tests has been proposed and analyzed.
