Abstract:

NetMagic has been widely applied as an experimental platform to support network research. In order to further reduce the complexity of the hardware development of the NetMagic platform, the principal of separation of decision and forwarding is adopted to expand the interface of the Rule. The development methodology based on UM (userdefined logic) and its development interface specification not only simplify the design of UM, but also support the optimization of NetMagic resources efficiently. NetMagicbased NProbe network probe is an example to introduce the basic process of UM development.

Key words: NetMagic；UM；hardware development method
