Description

This is a hardware portion of OpenFlow1.0 Switch on NetFPGA-10G. The main role of the hardware portion is to modify packet header fields and forward it from one port to another/other port(s) at a line rate, with referring to flow tables residing in hardware. For overall view including its associated software, see the attached design document.
