PFqOmatic

pfq-omatic script

Pfq-omatic is a Haskell script that can be used to compile the source codes of network device drivers and obtain versions specialized for PFQ. By overloading various symbols at compile time, pfq-omatic enables drivers to:

• achieve high performance (e.g. line-speed of Intel 10G adapters).
• exploit the PFQ socket buffer allocator.
• send to and capture packets directly from PFQ.

Additionally, the use of PFQ on top of pfq-omatic drivers interposes the kernel module between the device driver and the network stack of the Linux kernel. In this vein, the functional computations created with the PFQ/lang can process packets, dispatch them sockets, forward them to network devices or to the Linux kernel, on per-packet-basis.

With pfq-omatic drivers, functional computations can be used to implement a simple firewall, a switched node, a load balancer, or early stages computations for networking applications.
