SSPRD: A Shared-Storage-Based Hardware Packet Reordering and Deduplication System for Multipath Transmission in Wide Area Networks.

To increase bandwidth and overcome packet loss in Wide Area Networks (WANs), per-packet multipath transmission and redundant transmission are increasingly being used as Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) solutions. However, this results in out-of-order and duplicate packets in the destination network. To restore sequential and unique data streams for multiple connections, hardware packet buffers with significant depth are required due to the large delay difference between WAN paths.

QGWFQS: A Queue-Group-Based Weight Fair Queueing Scheduler on FPGA.

Weight Fair Queuing is an ideal scheduling algorithm to guarantee the bandwidth of different queues according to their configured Weights when the switching nodes of the network are congested. Many of the switching nodes based on FPGA in the current network support four physical ports or hundreds of virtual ports. Massive logic and storage resources would be consumed if each port implemented a WFQ scheduler.
