Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods using lock-less multi-core IP forwarding having dedicated forwarding cores. The exemplary embodiments may offer wire-rate on multiple gigabit links while guaranteeing packet order. One embodiment relates to a system including a plurality of forwarding cores within a network, and a routing table, wherein a first forwarding core of the plurality of forwarding cores polls data received from an input interface for routing information, references the routing table based on the routing information, determines a destination for the data based on the routing table, and transmits the data to the destination at a wire-rate, the wire-rate is independent from a further wire-rate corresponding to a further forwarding core of the plurality of forwarding cores.
