Abstract

As the need for a flexible Internet grows, research for software and virtual routers has increased. Although software routers and virtual routers provide Internet flexibility, they have low performance compared with existing hardware routers. In addition, the low performance problem is intensified in virtual routers because they have virtualization overheads. GPU routing is one method of improving the performance of software routers. However, previous GPU routing is based on native software routers, which are not virtualized, and presents experimental simulation results only. In this paper, we examine the effect of GPU routing on a virtual router using PathSavanna. Our GPU routing is implemented on the virtual router and forwards real packets to another machine, which is connected by a network.
