Development of high speed hardware accelerated layer 7 router

Abstract

Our project is based on layer 7(application) routing technique. Improvement for Quality of Service (QoS) is of great necessity for the World Wide Web due to its increasing demand day by day . Through our router we have been able to generate congestion free and improved network availability for the end users along with onboard data processing for calculation of various valuable data statistics which if implemented onto the CPU would cause deterioration in the efficient memory usage . Present routing techniques depend upon IP checking and OSPF routing protocol which are unintelligent . Through the Layer 7 router we have been able to forward data packets based on their routing protocols for intelligent bandwidth allocation and also data processing to meet the data statistic needs of the day . The layer 7 router is made on ARDUINO board which allows Software Defined Networking (SDN) on it .
