- FastClick is an ever evolving project since the original ANCS paper. E.g., the research package contains multi-threading whereabouts while the github projects page contains ongoing ideas.
- MiddleClick is available as a FastClick branch and focuses on providing efficient flow-based service chaining. More to come here.
- **Metron ** is another FastClick branch that combines a DPDK-based FastClick agent with a controller, based on ONOS and the ONOS server device drivers. Metron (i) offloads service chains' classification operations into programmable hardware (i.e., OpenFlow switches and/or server network cards) and (ii) performs smart tagging to eliminate inter-core communication, thus achieves ultra efficient processing at the speed of the underlying hardware. In our NSDI 2018 paper Metron realizes deep packet inspection at 40 Gbps and stateful service chains at the speed of a 100 GbE Melanox NIC.
