  • Abstract
    In this paper, we propose Fast Path Offloading (FPO), a new framework that accelerates the performance of many virtual Network Functions. FPO enables the Network Functions to offload the majority of the traffic processing to the underlying network. We implemented FPO and used it to accelerate the performance of HA-proxy, an open source L7 load balancer.
