NFP:enabling network function parallelism in NFV by Jun BI, Chen SUN, Heng YU

“…Software-based sequential service chains in network function virtualization (NFV) could introduce significant performance overhead.Current acceleration efforts for NFV mainly target on optimizing each component of the sequential service chain.However,based on the statistics from real world enterprise networks,it was observed that 53.8% network function (NF) pairs could work in parallel.In particular,41.5% NF pairs could be parallelized without causing extra resource overhead.NFP was presented,a high performance framework,that innovatively enabled network function parallelism to improve NFV performance.NFP consisted of three logical components.Firstly,NFP provided a policy specification scheme for operators to intuitively describe sequential or parallel NF chaining intents.Secondly,NFP orchestrator intelligently identified NF dependency and automatically compiled the policies into high performance service graphs.Thirdly,NFP infrastructure performed light-weight packet copying,distributed parallel packet delivery,and load-balanced merging of packet copies to support NF parallelism.An NFP prototype based on DPDK in Linux containers was implemented.The evaluation results show that NFP achieves significant latency reduction for real world service chains.…”

How ethical are codes of ethics? Using illusions of neutrality to sell translations by Joseph Lambert

“…This is achieved by developing a sense of trust and confidence around a skewed image of the translation process and a fictional construction of the translator as a neutral conduit, which overrides genuine ethical insight to increase status and to reassure clients that their 'message' will remain intact. Not only does this present issues regarding transparency and integrity, it also forces us to question the assumption that the codes themselves are automatically ethical. …”
