Abstract(in English) When the sensor data is collected from the huge number of IOT/M2M sensor devices through the Internet, the traffic containing the huge number of short packets will be generated because of the tiny data size of the sensor data and supposed to degrade the network performance. In this article, in order to mitigate the effect of such IoT/M2M traffic transported to the data center through the Internet, we will investigate the network architecture to reside the middle boxes to aggregate the short packets at the network gateway as well as to disaggregate the aggregated packets at the gateway of the data center where the collected data is being processed. In addition, to securely send the confidential sensor data to the data center through the public network, the encryption of the sensor data will be required. To implement these requirements in the proposed architecture, we will use many-core network processors enabling the parallel packet processing with multiple cpus together with high speed encryption/decryption processing by crypto engines resided in the processor. Using many-core network processors, 10Gb/s throughput of the aggregation and encryption was obtained for 64 byte short packets. With the aggregation of short packets, the packet per second (PPS) can be reduced by less tnan 7 percent and the fast encryption/decryption can be achieved. By using the proposed architecture, it is expected that the load due to a large amount of short packets and flows can be reduced by the middle boxes consisting of many-core network processors resided in the network and the network performance will be improved.
