Nirasawa, Shinnosuke, Hara, Masaki, Nakao, Akihiro, Oguchi, Masato, Yamamoto, Shu, Yamaguchi, Saneyasu.  2016.  Network Application Performance Improvement with Deeply Programmable Switch. Adjunct Proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems: Computing Networking and Services. :263–267.

Large scale applications in data centers are composed of computers connected with a network. Traditional network switches cannot be flexibly controlled. Then, application developer cannot optimize network elements' behavior for improving application performance. On the other hand, Deeply Programmable Network (DPN) switches can completely analyze packet payloads and be profoundly programmed. In this paper, we focus on processing a part of application functions in network elements for improving application performance based on Deep Packet Inspection (DPI), i.e. analyzing packet payload, using DPN switches. We assume some applications as targets and implement some of functions of applications in network switches. We then present the comparison of performances with and without out method, and show that our method can significantly increase application performance.
