An Extensible LFB Management and Development Model for ForCES Router Software

Extensible software architecture is needed to adapt to the development of router. As an important part of ForCES router software, an extensible LFB management and development model based on ForCES router software was illustrated, which enhances extensibility of the software. The ForCES router software structure was first discussed. Based on that, the architecture of this model was described. In order to testify the feasibility, an implementation of the model was presented and an ipv6 forwarding service based it was brought out. The impact on traffic flows and applications was evaluated.
