尽管在开发新功能和机制方面具有很高的潜力和灵活性，以及成熟的网络软件的可用性，但基于COTS硬件元素和开源软件的软件路由器的常见批评主要集中在性能上，特别是关于数据平面的问题。在这方面，我们的贡献是旨在评估限制软件路由器性能的可扩展性的架构瓶颈，并确定克服这些限制所需的软件和硬件增强。从这些考虑出发，我们提出了一个可行的软件路由器硬件/软件解决方案，能够提高数据平面的性能，同时保持典型的软件方法的灵活性水平。
Despite high potential and flexibility in developing new functionalities and mechanisms, as well as the availability of well-established networking SW, common criticism of Software Routers, based on COTS HW elements and open-source SW, is mainly focused on performance, especially for issues concerning the data plane. In this respect, our contribution is aimed at evaluation of architectural bottlenecks limiting the scalability of Software Router performance, and identification of SW and HW enhancements needed to overcome these limitations. Starting from these considerations, we propose a feasible Software Router HW/SW solution able to boost data plane performance while maintaining the flexibility level typical of a SW approach.
