The Smart Port Card: An Embedded Unix Processor Architecture for Network Management and Active Networking
Category: Desktops, Laptops and OS, Servers and Server OS, Networking and Communications
Tags: network management, intel, network, management, applications
Overview This paper describes the architecture of the Smart Port Card (SPC) designed for use with the Washington University Gigabit Switch. The SPC uses an embedded Intel Pentium processor running open-source NetBSD to support network management and active networking applications. The SPC physically connects between a switch port and a normal link adapter, allowing cell streams to be processed as they enter or leave the switch. In addition to the hardware architecture, this paper describes current and future applications for the SPC.
