Network Processor Paper - Programming the Data Path in Network Processor-Based Routers

Kounavis et al have written a paper describing the design, implementation and evaluation of NetBind, a high performance, flexible and scalable binding tool for dynamically constructing data paths in network processor-based routers. The methodology that underpins NetBind balances the flexibility of network programmability against the need to process and forward packets at line speeds.
