Abstract

In this paper, we introduce Grainflow, a scheme for flexibly deploying custom protocols at wire-speed. Grainflow is designed based on programmable hardware along with configuring software. Grainflow allows operation on every bit of header to be customized. With different configuration, Grainflow can flexibly customize IP and Non-IP protocols on the fly.
