Abstract: The idea of software-defined network (SDN) accelerates the innovation of network technology. The emerging trend of programmable, hardware acceleration and platformization of the network data plane has proposed urgent need for open-source platform for network innovation. The talk summarizes the trend of the network data plane in recent years and introduce the open-source project that support network technology innovation proposed in 2016--FAST. Regarding this FAST project, the talk analyzes its software/hardware coordination processing model, its realization mechanism and its application on the network technology innovation.
