In particular, we have designed, implemented and evaluated a proof-of-concept prototype on the Intel IXP1200 network processor. Our results show that the prototype succeeds in of oading the host machine as no data packets have to be processed by the host CPU, and the prototype is able to perform application layer forwarding using only a fraction of the cycles compared to a traditional architecture, where all packets are processed by the host CPU.}, year = {2005}, journal = {International Network Conference (INC)}, pages = {113-120}, month = {july}, publisher = {University of Plymouth}, isbn = {960-7475-32-1}, editor = {S.
