Abstract:
Forwarding and Control Element Separation (ForCES) defines an
architectural framework and associated protocols to standardize
information exchange between the control plane and the forwarding
plane in a ForCES Network Element (ForCES NE). RFC5812 has defined
the ForCES Model provides a formal way to represent the capabilities,
state, and configuration of forwarding elements within the context of
the ForCES protocol, so that control elements (CEs) can control the
FEs accordingly. More specifically, the model describes the logical
functions that are present in an FE, what capabilities these
functions support, and how these functions are or can be
interconnected.
Many network devices support parallel packet processing. This
document describes how ForCES can model a network device's
parallelization datapath.
