| Abstract(in English) | Network Function Virtualization (NFV) decouples Network Functions (NFs) from dedicated hardware and realizes their flexible placement. Although NFs are implemented on software and programable hardware, few NFs realize both high speed processing and practicality. On the other hand, an increase in privacy attacks against NFs observed these days results in social demands for privacy protection because the attacks can leak personal information. This paper proposes a mechanism for simplifying VNF (Virtualized Network Function) implementation for privacy protection and efficient data transfer by using a SmartNIC. By offloading the user space VNF processing to SmartNIC, it is possible to reduce the overhead of simple processing and processing common to multiple user space VNFs. Additionally, encrypting payload or extracting the necessary part of the packet before passing the packet to VNFs in the user space realizes privacy protection. In the evaluation, it was confirmed that the overhead of encryption and offloading is extremely small, and line of code in the user space VNF implementation can be reduced. |
