Abstract: Abstract Active networking needs the tradeoff of flexibility, safety and performance. Network processors targeted for safe active packets will provide customized packets processing at wire speed. In order to evaluate the architectural characteristics of active packets processing for network processors, this paper presents an architectural study of Safe and Nimble Active Packets (SNAP) processing. Two representative SNAP packets processing applications are taken as workloads and the characteristics of these two programs including instruction mix, instruction level parallelism (ILP), cache behavior are studied through simulation on a MIPS-like architecture. The measurements are compared to NetBench programs to highlight the different characteristics of active packets workloads.
