Abstract

NFV is fast moving towards containers for software virtualization and thereby imposing stringent requirements on container networking. The current status of networking in containers is quite limited especially for fast packet processing and needs further exploration. The thesis is a comprehensive study on container networking for fast packet processing in standalone and orchestrated environments. Existing technologies such as DPDK and SR-IOV are utilized along with OvS and OVN to build different topologies and measure network latency. Utilizing these results and taking into account the hardware features supported by different nodes in an orchestrated environment, the thesis further proposes a latency based scheduler that can meet the network latency requirements of container applications being deployed.
