NetFPGA SUME: Toward 100 Gbps as Research Commodity

The demand-led growth of datacenter networks has meant that many constituent technologies are beyond the research community's budget. NetFPGA SUME is an FPGA-based PCI Express board with I/O capabilities for 100 Gbps operation as a network interface card, multiport switch, firewall, or test and measurement environment. NetFPGA SUME provides an accessible development environment that both reuses existing codebases and enables new designs
