Abstract:
TCP/IP performance improvement is a major concern in low latency network applications. The network
interface speed is a significant factor to be concerned on, when working with applications that require high
speeds such as datacenter applications in cloud computing environments. This paper presents on the
processing speed improvement of the IP layer of the TCP/IP stack. This will he mainly realized through
hardware implementation of the IP layer functions. The system is implemented on a FPGA based hardware
platform. Our Main objective is to study about the achie\>able performance gains by implementing a scalable
hardware based IP layer.
