Abstract(in English) This paper studies router algorithms in the context of executing them on multiprocessor systems, which are becoming increasingly common in modern high-speed Internet routers. By modelling the unique environment that is provided by such multiprocessor systems, we identify a couple of design issues for the successful parallel execution of router algorithms, especially by exploring flow-level parallelism. The successful execution depends on the level of concurrency in algorithms, and concurrency is restricted by access contention for shared data resources. We show how flow-level parallelization can reduce access contention, and how we can design multiprocessor-oriented router algorithms. As an example, we describe the MXQ algorithm, an flow-based AQM algorithm, that is efficiently realized on a multiprocessor system. The real implementation on a real high-speed multiprocessor-based router, and the results of the experiments in a laboratory testbed show that the algorithm can scale well up to tens of thousands of flows at the line rate of 10 Gb/s.
