- This paper presents the design of a programmable network switch supporting consistent lookup memory updates. The paper provides a proof of the consistency property, while our evaluation demonstrated line-rate forwarding support for any number of memory updates. Blueswitch was the first attempt to implement hardware support for memory manipulation transactions, introduced in the 1.5 version of the OpenFlow protocol. The design is open-source and has been integrated with the NetFPGA OpenFlow switch design, a popular programmable hardware networking platform. The paper was published in a top networking conference (IEEE/ACM ANCS).
